[C320-list] [C320-hillerange oven, pilot light won’t light

[Rene]

Thanks everyone.  This is where we stand to hopefully help others in the future:
 
Oven hasn't been used in a very long time if ever.
The pilot light would not light due to a small dead spider in the orifice.  Once that was removed it lit.  
The pilot had a high and low flame as we adjusted the thermostat, but the main bar wouldn't light.
Low gas pressure.  With the help of a lighter and the pilot, the main bar lit.
Unfortunately when the stove needed to reduce the flame everything would go out including the pilot.  
This has led us to a sticking regulator.  Hubby is off to buy a new one tonight.  Hopefully we will be making cookies Friday night!!

Thanks,
Rene'

Ha!   The manual...who reads that!

I can tell you one thing...that story in there about the main burner
lighting off in 30 seconds is pure rubbish.   It always seems like WAY
longer.   I have never time it though and it probably just seems like it
takes way longer than it should.

Troy
