I have a 2015 Jayco with an Atwood stove. One day it worked and the next day there was no gas to the stove top or oven. All other appliances work fine on gas. I see a regulator in the stove top under the top portion. Do these go bad? Any other obvious places to look before I start digging in?
Thanks
Andy

Is the stove in a slide out? If so, odds are the rubber LP line is pinched. The regulator you see drops the Supply from normal 11.5 inch water column to 10 inches. They rarely fail. They do leak sometimes but rarely fail to deliver LP. What you need to do is, TURN OFF LP AT TANK. Disconnect the LP line from the regulator on the stove. Then while holding the LP line have someone turn on the LP tank. IF the LP spews out turn off the tank. IF NOT, the pinched hose is the problem. Doug

I'll give that a try. It's bot in a slide out so I can't imagine the hose got pinched. We were on the way home from a 2 week road trip where it worked fine. Luckily it waited until the drive home to stop working

Does the cooktop have a lid that is fixed at a hinge point? If so the switch may be faulty or came loose.

Please explain this comment. I have 44 years as an RV tech and have never seen a RV cooktop cover that has a "safety" switch. Kind of makes NO sense. To light a cook top burner you have to lift the bi fold cover anyway. Doug

Is the supply hose to the stove top Rubber or Copper? Let us know if the LP flow test I mentioned spews LP or not. Doug

Pulled the hose off the regulator and gas flowed out of it. Disconnected the regulator from the stove and put it back on the hose and no gas came out. Looks like I found the culprit?
55 bucks on Amazon for this little guy.

My Mobile Suites has a motorized lift on a switch for the Quartz top because it's HEAVY and it has a switch that closes off the gas when it closes plain and simple.

I was going to suggest the stove's regulator.. (Stoves often have a on-board regulator in addition to the 11" regulator for everything else)
Home was where I park it. but alas the.

Can you give me the brand and model number of your stove? You have a luxury model RV and those may have appliances that have either been modified or the RV maker has installed an optional system to prevent damage if the top is lowered when burners are on. While your comment made me think, think of you owning a Rolls Royce and commenting on a standard automobile forum about items in your Rolls Royce. Completely different items and way of operating. The OP stated Jayco, as a Jayco center, I KNEW there was no such thing as a safety switch for the Stove. Doug
