Grill won't stay lit

This trick was shown to us by our mobile engineer a while back and its been ok ever since

There was a well known problem with the Thetdord grill a while back where it was recognised that the control knob shafts were too short. I recall finding reports online, printing them out and getting the dealer to change them under warranty.

Have you tried using the grill with the oven door open on my bailey Orion the grill will go out if the oven door is not open

isn't the cadiz a seperate grill and oven so opening the oven door should not make a difference. the grill door would have to be open to operate the flame and stay lite.

I replaced thermistor ok for a while then replaced the control brilliant for a while only needed seconds to stay on this trip very iffy .I am wondering if it is a bad earth connection on the body to bracket ? Will investigate when we are home 

Not in a caravan, but our living flame gas fire in house..... thermocouple and gas jets occasionally get clogged etc..... two perfect tools, an interdental flossing stick (look like miniature bottle brushes) to gently insert into gas jet to clear any debris, and a small fine grade emery board, to gently rasp around thermocouple to clean it. Works a treat for us, but the emphasis is on “gentle”. Worth a try..... but only if easily accessible.

CRACKED IT  it is poor electric connection on the body of the thermocouple fitted independant earth lead to rear works brilliantly .

This is after replacing thermo  and tap (not easy )

Thanks mine seems to have got worse over time. I'll have a look at what you suggest. Only thing that concerns me was if it was the earth surely that would effect the other ignition devices on the hob and oven, they work perfectly?

Our grill played up whilst on a rally.

Fortunately there was a very good mobile caravan mechanic on site who quickly found that the gas supply pipe was partially blocked by oily deposits from the gas.

Took him about 30 minutes to strip it out and clean it through.

No problems since.

I have bought a new motorhome in 2018 and had several problems with grill and hobs not stay on. Under warranty I had the whole cooker replaced. The grill has just gone again. I heard someone say if you remove the knob from the grill at the front. Put a screw driver on the nut by the shaft and give it a tap with a hammer. Not too hard this will fix the valve not staying open. Did this now my grill is staying on. Chance who knows ?.
