Furrion Oven Won't Stay Lit

[rodgebone]

I'm sure there is a thread for this and I've researched this elsewhere but I'm going to ask the question again anyways...

My 2020 Outback has a Furrion oven - model FSRE21SABL (typical 3 burner range/oven). Been full timing for 11 months from new and it worked perfectly everytime until about 6 months ago. Won't stay lit for more than a few minutes and requires up to a dozen restarts to keep it going; seems opening the oven door and letting it heat up for 15 minutes or so is a requirement to keep it going. has a nice blue flame so not a propane supply prob and doubt its a regulator; the stovetop works perfect everytime and gets used often so not a purging problem so I'm thinking lack of oxygen or thermo coupler. any ideas? Thanks in advance for any input.

Hi just wondering if found a solution to this problem. My oven is doing the exact same thing. Thanks

I would have to say it's the thermocouple if it works as described. Either the thermocouple is out of place, is covered in carbon (soot), or is beginning to fail.

when I went thru the paperwork last night, I found a furian or whatever they are called, thermocouple in the bag......known issue?

My 2022 295rl is doing the same thing. It's brand new, never used.

so I found a simple solution...and it works. flip open the stop top glass and pop the oven door open 2-3" while you light the oven and let it warm up. this seems to let it breath and get the oxygen it needs to warm up. after 6+ minutes the oven door can be closed and it will heat up to the desired preheat temp. just my experience. these ovens aren't vented correctly but they do work

I figured out what was wrong with mine by reading other posts. My thermocoupler was not precisely over the hottest part of the pilot light. I had to use pliers to bend it about 1/8 of an inch into the flame. That solved the problem. Apparently, if the thermocoupler isn't absolutely convinced (LOL), that there is a flame burning propane, it cuts the supply off.

thanks to Mike&Sandy for that post. i removed my thermocoupler from the little bracket on the back wall of the oven and repositioned it directly over the holes in the (drip tray? - not sure what purpose this tray serves). anyways, now it stays lit first time every time even with the door closed. after 2.5 years full timing dealing with this I thank you - well done!

So glad mine and yours is working better. What a funny little fix.
