Propane Leak and Stove Issues FIXED! (Plus Tips!) (Full Time RV Life)

Our propane stove won’t start AND we have a leak! 😳
Today, we fix BOTH! 🛠 😀 🔥
⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ Click SHOW MORE to see all of the details related to this video!
UPDATE! If you have a propane fuelled generator: Many propane fuelled generators consume a large volume of propane, meaning they draw a high rate of flow. GasStop is designed to shut off when that rate of flow exceeds 70 SCFH/75,000 BTU/hr (this is what happens during a major leak). Larger generators may ‘mimic’ this high flow rate scenario, thus effectively tripping GasStop into ‘major leak mode’. It is therefore advised that, if you have a propane fuelled generator, you check its propane rating (rated no higher than 70 SCFH/75,000 BTU/hr) before purchasing or using your GasStop.

I was told years ago that if you want to live full time in an RV, learn what to fix and how to repair most if not all the systems, it makes $$$ n cents...or saves lots of money in the long run. We have lived in a travel trailer while we built our house in AZ years ago, yes, learned a lot then too. But I am a doer also, the homes that we have had throughout our lifetime all have had their issues. When it comes to repairs, modifications, restorations, I am a little slow getting started, but as long as the wallet does not loose any weight, I get the job done on a reasonable time schedule, and I am impressed as well as others that stop by. Thank you again for the invite, you do make it look easy...though sometimes it is not.

@brianroth7852 2 жыл бұрын

Usually a bad thermocouples for the oven. If it keeps going out I would replace it for safety. If the thermocouples is not working right it shuts the gas off on the appliances. At least that's what it is supposed to do. I remember as a teenager living in a mobile home. My sister thought she had lit the oven. How ever she did light the pilot light but the thermocouples failed to shut of the gas. And next thing we knew is the over door was blown off. Needless to say it work dad up and scared the crap out of my sister. After that she told dad he could make his own toast. Also you can by a gas dector or snooper for about $59.00. I have one in my tool box. Comes in handy for those tight spaces where I can't get the soap spray. Safe travels Brian and Cindy "xtreambydesign with passion"

On your oven. There is generally 2 safety systems. One being for the pilot light, the other for the actual burner. Generally its a probe that is in the flame. If it goes bad it will think there is no flame and shut it all down. Hope this helps. I couldn't see your burner to well

when you mentioned holding the oven knob in for 5 seconds at 10:47 something I noticed in my RV oven I troubleshooter was when you hold the knob of the oven in, to light the pilot light, it's actually warming up the thermal coupler telling the system "hey the pilot light is on we can keep feeding gas".

RE: Oven woes If you don't light the pilot light, you can still light the oven burner; when oven is up to temp, the burner shuts off but can't re-start without the pilot light being lit. I think there's also an automatic valve that shuts gas flow if the pilot light isn't on - not sure about this one. We had this exact issue when the wife lit the burner only yesterday and the oven shut itself off.

@stewartcollver9000 2 жыл бұрын

I am not a full timer but I just had to jump in. I Am retired HVAC business owner so I ve run into this many times. First thing to look for is what is sensing the presence of flame? If a. Thermocouple, then it must be in the flame enough to put out sufficient current to keep gas solenoid energized. AND connection must be good for solenoid to stay open, Very small current can get lost in bad connection..If there is flame sense rod, flame rectification is happening, also small current, about 2 to 3 micro amps..often due to oxygen and heat being present, an oxide will form on the rod which is resistive, which can have big impact on a small current through the rod so the control board doesn't sense the flame current.... keep up good work Tara. You to Chad

Hey Chad and Tara. Blackstone major tip. Get you some pastry chopper/scappers with the curved handle. The slot will then fit over the lip of your blackstone thus limiting the effect of wind gusts.
