Furrion Stove / Range: “Oven won't light”
warning RV stove & oven problems
What it means
On Furrion RV gas ovens (the lower oven of a 2-in-1 range or standalone gas oven), the oven uses a manually-lit pilot or spark-lit burner with a thermocouple-type flame safety device, not a fault-code display. This symptom covers the oven failing to ignite at all when the knob is set to LIGHT/PILOT and the ignitor is operated.
Most likely causes
- Low or empty propane, closed tank valve, or air in the gas line after running out most likely
- Dirty or sooted pilot/burner assembly blocking gas or flame common
- Spark ignitor not firing (cracked electrode, dead ignition battery, or failed module) common
- Blown fuse or lost 12V DC supply on electric-start models less common
- Insufficient combustion air inside a tightly closed oven cavity less common
Safe checks you can do yourself
- Verify the propane tank is open and not empty, and that stovetop burners light (confirms gas supply).
- After a refill or run-out, expect to hold the knob slightly longer to purge air before the burner catches.
- With the oven cool, inspect the pilot/burner area for soot, grease, or debris and clean gently.
- On electric-start models, check the appliance fuse and 12V DC supply.
- If the oven struggles to catch, leave the oven door open a few inches for the first 3-4 minutes to supply combustion air, as Furrion advises for some models.
How to reset / clear Oven won't light
- Turn the oven knob to OFF and wait several minutes to clear any unburned gas.
- Set the knob to LIGHT/PILOT, operate the ignitor, and keep the knob pushed in for the specified time (about 5 seconds, longer after a refill) until the flame is steady.
- Release slowly; if the flame holds, set the desired temperature.
When to call a technician
Call an RV/LP technician if the oven will not light after confirming gas, cleaning the pilot, and checking the ignitor; if you suspect a leaking valve; or if the gas smell does not clear.
