Results for "propane oven"

Already tried everything but my RV's LP gas detector has false alarms in the garage, keeps beeping at random times, AND won't reset properly. Even with the LP tank completely shut off, the alarm still goes off within hours. It's located in the bottom of the fridge cabinet.

I've checked everywhere for actual leaks - can't smell anything, and all my appliances still light immediately when I take the RV out. The detector seems fine outside but becomes a nightmare indoors. I'm wondering if it's the sensor going bad, poor placement, or if there are other things that can trigger these detectors besides actual propane leaks?

I really need a complete breakdown of what causes these false alarms and how to fix this issue once and for all. Should I be looking at replacing the detector entirely, or are there troubleshooting steps I'm missing? …more

Spent three hours yesterday trying to figure out if my 2001 truck camper's Dometic RM2453 uses DSI or pilot light ignition and I'm still completely lost. I've been trying to light what I thought was a pilot light, but I'm having issues with it staying lit and producing adequate heat for cooling. The flame seems very low and blows out easily, even though my thermocouple is reading over 20mv which should be sufficient.

After doing some research, I'm now questioning whether this model even uses a traditional pilot light system. I notice there's no wire going to the gas valve for electronic activation, and the only control appears to be the eyebrow board on top. Some sources suggest these units use DSI (direct spark ignition) instead of a standing pilot.

Can someone clarify definitively whether the Dometic RM2453 uses a pilot light system or DSI ignition? Also, does this model have variable burner output stages, or is it just a single on/off operation? Understanding the correct ignition system will help me focus my troubleshooting efforts in the right direction rather than chasing a pilot light that may not even exist on this model. …more

Since getting my 2018 Forest River Cherokee, the main oven burner refuses to light even though the pilot works fine. Our RV oven has been rock solid for two years, but now the main burner absolutely refuses to light even though the pilot flame is burning perfectly fine. I've checked everything I can think of - propane tanks are full and wide open, all the stovetop burners work great, pilot stays lit consistently. I've tried every temperature setting on the dial, waited different amounts of time, even tried relighting the pilot multiple times.

This has to be some kind of component failure, right? The pilot flame looks strong and blue, but when I turn the oven on, the main burner just sits there doing nothing. What are the most common parts that fail in this scenario? I really hope it's something I can diagnose myself before calling a repair tech. Any guidance on what typically goes wrong when you have this exact symptom would be incredibly helpful! …more
