[C320-list] No Gas to Stove

[Kurt R. Budelmann, M.D.]

Brian,

If the tank has propane, and the valve is open counterclockwise by hand, and 
the LPG solenoid switch is on, on the electrical panel, and you are holding 
in the knob for the burner when pushing the spark peg and it does not light, 
then it may be there is a problem with the solenoid that you described as 
feeling hot or a disconnected hose.
