Hi All,


I'm trying to figure out how to get the heater portion of this gas range working It is a Kenmore, probably from the 1950's. The range works quite well. The oven is functional, though it generally isn't ever used.


I can't quite figure out where the pilot light is on the heater portion. As you can see from the picture, there is a three way valve, with 'On', 'Off', and 'Pilot' settings. In the 'Pilot' position, the knob is meant to be depressed in order to light the pilot light.


I get no gas flow in the 'On' position. I'm guessing that either something is broken, or there is a safety valve cutting the gas since the pilot is out. Would the latter seem reasonable for a 1950's stove?


If so, can anyone tell me where the pilot light would be? Any suggestions on troubleshooting if it isn't just a matter of lighting the pilot?


Also, I tried finding info online, but all I could find is a poor quality parts diagram from sears, which didn't help.


Any suggestions would be appreciated.


Thanks,


-Mark

Bump.

Really? No one knows how to light/troubleshoot one of these?
