Cant find my oven pilot!!

[AgentCow007]

I turned off the gas going to my stove to bug-bomb my apartment today, and i know where the stove pilots are but i dont have a clue where to even start looking for the oven one. it looks like your average stove/oven combo, 4 burners with 2 pilots, and its just one big oven underneath, and below that is this drawer thingy that slides out. Any suggestions?

bump... anyone????

it's usually far end at the bottom towards the middle.

that's where mine is, under the metal plate that was a pain in the ass to take out.

You might try lifting up the very bottom panel of the oven (oven floor??) I have seen it there on lots of ovens.

just turn the gas on wait a few min and toss in a match

Try just lighting the oven burner with a match or something. The flame will be enough to light the pilot, and it will stay lit when you turn the burner off.

It's near the clitoris

if you pull the drawer all the way out and look up you will find that which you seek.

that excuse is unacceptable. please apologize for lowering my opinion of humanity.

wtf?

Pull out the drawer, look on the top back edge, on the center. It may be there, I've seen two stoves that were.

 

[AgentCow007]

OK, i found it, i think... against the back behind the drawer thing... but theres no gas coming out, so it wont ignite. I know its getting gas because the stove pilots are still lit. wtf?

Lighting Your Ranges Pilot Lights

That suggest warming the thermocouple for a minute or so.

perhaps the owners manual would help

you probably have a gas leak. if you have any small animals, place one in the oven drawer and close it. if the animal is dead in 24 hours you should call the gas company and have them fix the leak.

on another note: an oven is not a range.
