I have the premier 24 inch stove with sealed burners. For whatever reason, the pilot light is not working, how can I reset it? Please note, the stove works when I use a match.
Thanks

Most pilot flames for gas burners are controlled by a safety valve. This model has a pilot safety valve. The safety valves function is simple, if the flame goes out for whatever reason the vale shuts the gas flow to the pilot light. The safety valve is controlled by a device that sits right next to the pilot (small cylindrec tube ( thermopile) that senses the pilot flame either by heat or dc current. To ignite the pilot light you have to manually hold down pilot light button until the the thermopile is hot enough (usually 5 to 20 secs), after that time, the thermopile will allow the safety valve to open. Check to see that the pilot's flame is making contact with the thermopile. If it is not, the pilot flame will require cleaning and or adjustment. If it is making contact, the you might need to replace the safety valve and the thermopile.
do you hear any clicking when you try to start the oven portion of the range? if not lets try this, open the lower drawer so you can see the burner bar and mechanism for lighting the bake bar. as your watching the mechanism turn on the oven (nothing should happen as per your issue) while oven is on try lighting one of the top burners, any one will do wanna check if that lites the spark and in turn lites the oven pilot.if that does infact work you have a bad spark switch for the oven control
It is usually a bad thermocouple. Mine had only had a weak pilot flame and the problem turned out to be a corroded and leaking pilot gas line. It was leaking whee it enters at the bottom of the oven chamber.
