The pilot lights on my magic chef range top are too low and burners will not light. Sometimes if I wave my hand over the burner it will light. But when I turn the burner off the pilot goes out with burner. Any ideas?

There is a cover plate that has two screws holding it down. Inspect the pilot area and you will see a hot surface igniter sitting right next to it.. That is what lights pilot and then the pilot lights main burner. You need a new igniter. Also do not touch any part of the hot surface igniter as human oil will shorten the life of part.

Hi, Even tho the ignitor is glowing, it can be bad. It has to pull enough amps to open the gas valve. This is very common problem. I can get you the part and or prices if you could get me the model#
If I can help further, please let me know.
Thanks
Vic

You have a defective pilot safety valve. Due to the age, the part may no longer be available. If you can find it, have it changed by an authorized gas technician. Also replace the pilot orafice. It should be a .014 orafice.

OK, you will need to watch the pilot when you turn the temp control. It should get longer and give heat to a coupler that should be attached to your gas valve. If the pilot does not extend when you turn the temp control then the temp control is bad. if it does then your valve is bad.
I hope I got the right kind of machine doing this blind.
