This could probably be posted anywhere on here. The gas stove won't light using the knob I call the clicker, obviously it just creates a spark. Anyway stove works fine using a lighter, but not by using the knob. Any suggestions ?

Let's get the correct facts. Is this the stove top burners? 1 or all. Or is this in the stove (the oven)?

How old is the trailer/stove? You can have a bad ignitor on one burner and not the others or just ??

We found that on our rig the wire from the igniter would come loose from the igniter and all it took was to plug it back in again. I finally crushed the connector a little and it hasn't come loose for quite a while. Check that the wire is still connected to the igniter.

It's all 3 burners, and the stove is 6 years old

Local it is probably the igniter for the burners that went bad. No spark at all?

There's a caution in the owner's manual for the stove to "NOT" turn the rotary sparker knob in the wrong direction. I can't say that's your problem, but if you have turned it CCW several times, you may have damaged the ratchet mechanism in the rotary knob. It will still "turn the same" and "click the same" but the piezo igniter doesn't spark the same. You may need to replace the rotary knob device.

Another "thing to check" is the small hole in the burner right next to the sparker anode. Sometimes grease and cooking splashes will block the hole and propane can't flow through to the spark so even if it's sparking, there's no propane to ignite. Sometimes it just takes a toothpick to push through the crud to fix things.

We have this issue periodically with our stove. Hard to explain sometimes see spark others we don't.

No, the pilot flame in the oven is "on your knees with a match" there's no igniter on the Atwood ovens. I understand that the new Furrion ovens do have an igniter, but I haven't worked on any, so that's "just heresay" .....

Probably does not operate the oven, however we need to know the brand/model. You can simply look at the pilot light and watch for a spark.

Yup!! Sweet as candy. Two different styles depending on model. One uses the cooktop sparker. On the “separate” models you just turn the temp knob to pilot and press in.

A few years back there was a post about adding sparker to the oven, try the search. If I can find link I will post. I did the upgrade and also added a metal mirror to the oven door so don't have to bend over to check flame.---Lou---

Tx for the tips and taking the time to share.. hoping to do this so I do not have to get on my hands and knees to light the oven... to much of an opportunity for the wife to sweat my a**

Looking at the photo,s you put the ignitor by the gas inlet and not the burner.. any special reason. When I change them on my bbq that are set to ignite the burner,

it is placed there as you are using the igniter to light the pilot not the burner.----

I have the same problem and would like to make this modification, but I can’t find an igniter with 4 output, 3 for the burner and 1 for the oven.

If anyone find one, please let us know.

Most ovens have a pilot light that must be lit manually. If you want the pilot to stay lit don't turn the oven off after use, turn it to the pilot position.

If you go to Amazon and search for "Universal electronic ignition module" you will find several with four outputs, even saw one with five and one with six. Some of them require a battery so be sure you read the full description.

We had some trouble lighting our oven for the first time. I've generally found that YouTube saves the day....there's usually someone who has had the same problem and made a helpful video. Here's a link to a video on YouTube we found really helpful for lighting our oven. https://youtu.be/IDwd3enbbjc

For reference purposes, we have a 2018 Keystone Sprinter Campfire Fifth Wheel RV. We just returned from our first week and a half long trip. We are total newbies. I feel like we learned a LOT on our first trip. Can't wait to go again!

Hope this is helpful.

I just want to install an oven igniter so that we don’t have to knell downs. No problem lightning it as it is.

I know that this should be under “operator error” but, in an earlier RV, my wife thought that she had lit the oven with the ignitor and she then turned it up to let it get warm. A few minutes later she noticed that the oven was apparently not on and she once again turned the ignitor. Enough gas had seeped into the oven from the pilot to cause a small explosion that blew the oven door open - fortunately without hurting my wife. With that ever in mind, I actually prefer bending down to light the oven pilot manually - as required by my current RV - but the mirror mentioned in an earlier post, plus due dilligence, could also work for others. Airing out the oven, by opening the door for a moment or so before turning the ignitor, might also be a good idea.

Even if you install an igniter to light the pilot you are still going to have to bend down to see that the pilot is lit and you are going to have to continue to press in the knob until the thermocouple warms up enough to keep the pilot light burning. You still have to bend down to see that the pilot stays on, unless...you can rig up some kind of mirror to eliminate that bending down.

Quiroule

You are right MerlinB,

But I won’t have to get a flash light et lighter, kneel down and shove my hand to the back of the oven to light it.

At Home Depot for $8, you can buy a "mechanical finger tool" that has a light in the end and will hold a match to light the pilot without having to reach inside the oven. You still need to bend over (or find a mirror) and you still need to push the oven control knob to keep gas flowing.

When I had this issue, it was the wire going to the burner was grounding out on stove frame Wrap wires with tape.
