Suburban oven won’t stay lit.
The Suburban oven in my 2015 GD Solitude 369 RL has never stayed lit beyond its first reach to the set temperature. Pilot goes out once desired temperature is reached. Obviously, the oven burner won’t relight at that point. I’ve paid no less than three RV repair facilities to fix this, and it still doesn’t work. Anyone have thoughts? Very disappointed in this appliance.

Well I have to assume service techs have changed this already but... Pilot light staying lit is controlled by the the thermocoupler. You light the pilot light, that heats the thermocoupler ( a resister that changes value with temp). That triggers the valve to stay open. When that resistance changes back it tells the gas to shut off as a safety feature so you don’t have gas pouring into the oven unlit. It thinks the pilot light went out. It is not a complex system.

I suspect that the techs have checked everything more than once. They just haven’t fixed whatever is wrong. My residential appliance guy looked at it and thought the gas valve was faulty. The latest RV service tech disagreed. I’d like to throw the whole damn thing in the trash!

So throw it out if you are not willing or able to work on it. Sounds like you got poor service techs too so throw them out because maybe that’s your problem. Let’s face it, things break. Here is a brand new scratch and dent unit. $379.99 with free shipping. https://www.ebay.com/itm/22-SUBURBAN...UAAOSwKz5baN4A

Ok. I had the same problem with mine back in ‘14 on our ‘15 Momentum. Suburban had a batch of ovens that the orifice was too small to support the pilot when hot. At the first rally, the Suburban tech replaced the interior parts of the oven, I don’t remember the name of what he replaced, but it contained the orifice for the gas. I hope this helps.

We have had the same problem ,I was positive it was thermal coupling replace it myself that didn’t take care of problem,
Took it to the dealer,which I didn’t want to just because of hassle of it,
I had to make 3 trip back to dealer to actually show them ,after 3 time they finally figure it out , they replace the control valve.Darwin & Linda
