I have a Peerless Premier GCC100WP small gas stove. I am having trouble with the oven. When I turn the thermostat knob up to set the temp of the oven, the pilot gets larger and appears to be going down to heat the thermocouple bulb. The bulb never really gets red hot though, just faintly. If I leave it on for 10 minutes, the burner finally lights for a second then goes off, then about 15 seconds or so later it lights again, sometimes only partially then goes off. It continues to do this cycle without ever really lighting and staying lit. What would cause this? I took my torch and held it on the bulb for a second and the burner lit and stayed lit as long as my torch was on it, but when I took it off, it went back to the lighting and going out and lighting and going out. Your help would be really appreciated! Thanks!
