Troubleshooting Oven Pilot
Check that the oven pilot adjustment on the gas valve is open.
If the pilot still will not light, do the following: Remove the oven
bottom. Loosen the pilot nut on the burner bracket. Remove the
pilot tube from the safety valve. Remove the pilot orifice from the
pilot or end of the tube and check for debris.
Re-install the pilot orifice and tubing.
If the voltage does not rise above 450 millivolts, then adjust or
clean the pilot assembly to chieve a larger flame. If the voltage
will not adjust properly, then replace the thermopile.
if you continue to have issues after replacing the thermpile, then
contact Southbend Technical Support for assistance at
