no oven July 24, 2010, 07:18:31 pm Yahoo Message Number: 114695Stew and I have been fulltiming for a couple of months now and I just tried to start the oven for the second time (first time a month ago). It still won't ignite. Is there something I can check or maybe I'm doing something wrong. I am doing the same thing I've always done with ovens and that is to turn it on, wait a bit, and then get the flame to the proper thingie. The burners are working just fine. I hope someone can help or we'll just do without the oven until we move out of this rv park. Thanks guys.Judy Wms.

Someone posted some years back that all you have to do is turn the oven on to a temp, say perhaps 350, and then light the ignitor light in the oven. Close the oven door and check in in a few minutes and you'll see the burner is going full blast. I got tired of holding the knob in and this works on our '02 30'. Chris

In our 06 MB, the marking on the gas control knob doesn't exactly match the indicated start position. I have to turn the knob slightly beyond the indicated position to get the gas to flow and the oven to ignite.BillWild Thing (06 MB)NE 59Caravan 2967[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

We have no trouble getting the oven to light up, but it doesn't stay lit after we close the oven door. After many fruitless attempts, we figured out that for whatever reason, not enough oxygen is getting inside to maintain a flame, so we bought a couple of flat, fairly thin magnets and stuck them on the oven door. They are just thick enough to keep the door open a small crack, and now the oven works perfectly.Just another possibility, admittedly not the usual suspect! :-)Sonsie
