[VAC] Re: Stupid Newbie Question....



         Ovens are pretty much a pain to work on- the reason being that the 
manufacturers used many different oven controls- to replace one, you have 
to remove it and take the numbers off of the valve itself.
         The reason I say this is that some ranges have the pilot controls 
behind the temp knob, some have pilot controls that are ganged with the 
stove top pilot control, some have two or three pilot controls (standing 
pilot, heater pilot, and top pilot.)

         This is probably why your owners manual didn't cover it, and why 
it is dificult to diagnose long distance.

FWIW..
