hi!
I have a question for anyone who has or has expereince with a gas stove. I grew up with the electric stove so this is all new to me...
but here goes...
I have an OLD stove in my apartment and it is one of the gas stoves that has the pilot lights lit all the time. I have on for the oven and two for the range (one one each side) the flames are blue.
Here is the issue...whenever i turn on the oven and it comes up to temp. the pilot lights on the range go out. So i am constantly relighting them. Once I shut off the oven they will stay on. I try to not use the oven and I always check the pilot lights before I leave for work. They will stay on as long as the oven is off.
But I don't think that this is normal and there is somethign wrong with my stove. Am I right or is that normal for gas stoves?
I am having my husband call the super about it tomorrow since I am concerned. (the super likes and gets long with my DH so I let him deal with him since the super tends to SCREAM at me when I call.)
A Friend says it sounds like the stove is starting to break...but I wonder can it be fixed or am I looking at a new stove?
Anyone have any idea?
