I have a old magic chef gas stove. the top burners work just fine but the oven wont turn on. the pilot light is still lit in the oven though it its not as high. its just when i turn the oven dial i get nothing it is also the same when i try to light the oven manually
The pilot light is there for 2 purposes. number 1 to light the burner and number 2 to heat up the thermocouple, thermocouple is a wire that the flame from pilot suppose to surround by fire. if the pilot is to low it will not reach the thermocouple. you can take the gas line that supplies gas to the pilot and clean it with a safety pin or a small needle. you can test the thermocouple by heating it up with a blow torch on low heat, get it red hot and then turned on the oven. if the oven works clean the pilot, if the oven do not work, replace the thermocouple if separate from safety valve. if thermocouple is part of it replace the safety valve.
I have anGe XL44 gas stove with pilot lights. The pilot in the oven is lit but the oven wont light. When you turn the oven on the pilot burns laarger but dosent do anything.
