Hi all,
I was troubleshooting a fridge LP problem that turned out to be a bad regulator and a near empty propane tank. The fridge and furnace are now working great, but for some reason, the stove won't light.
I can't say for sure that the stove was working recently prior to the repair work, since we never use it. We do use the furnace and the fridge; In fact we just used them over July 4th week (though the fridge was not cooling properly on LP, now fixed with new regulator). When I turn on the stove burner(s) I do not hear any hiss and holding a lighter near the burner results in no ignition, as well as no deflection of the flame. Also, no gas smell is present. I have traced the line from the stove down below the galley and can't find any sort of inline valve or similar. I have not checked under the camper.
I believe this is a low pressure stove since there is no regulator near it--it just relies on the regulator for the whole camper. I know the stove worked when we first got the camper back in 2013. The camper does have an LP leak detector, but I didn't do any troubleshooting with it. I think during a portion of my troubleshooting, there was no power supplied to the camper. I don't know much about the leak detector, but my understanding is it's just like a smoke detector in that it makes a loud noise, but doesn't actually control any gas valve or anything. Please correct me if I'm mistaken.

Thanks...
