the oven *knob, then push in to start the igniter. Once the gas is

out after you let go of the knob. If I hold the knob on for a good

Anyone have any ideas what might be the problem? The broiler has the

past, I just need to know what part I need.
Thanks

sounds like a flame sensor or thermocouple is not working. *Have you
at least managed to find a diagram or exploded drawing or parts list
for your stove?

There is a thermocouple in the oven, I can see it. Also I do have an
exploded parts list.
*I just read the manual online, and it does say hold the knob in for
10-15 seconds. Which is fine as the oven stays lit.
What I don't understand is after it reaches a preset temp and the
flame goes out, how does it know to re-ignite? That's what I want to
know, the operation of the oven. Obviously it can't re-igite by itself
beacuse you need to push the knob in, right? Thats why I thought maybe
there's suppose to be a pilot light somewhere.- Hide quoted text -

I dont think it is suppose to go all the way out until you turn it
off. There may be some kind of adjustment for this or the valve that
controls it is bad.
