Hello All,

First off I pretty much know nothing about appliance's, :confused: with that being said I have a Tappan gas stove and when you turn on the oven, it will lite, but not stay lit. In the oven is a ( I think it's called a thermostat ) a long slender rod thingy that connects to the over control by a copper wire. I believe this may be the problem, from talking to other people, but I would like a semi professional opinion before I lay out a $ 100 plus for a part since I'm temporarily unemployed. Or your thought's on what else it may be. Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks Kevin

Thanks Nat,

I'll check the burner, but I don't have a ohm meter,and I wouldn't know what other electrical components to check, like I said I don't have any real appliances skills, just a unemployed joe trying to save a buck.:) But thats for the info, I'll check some of the other post.
