Hi all,
We have a Caloric wall oven that is original to our 1950's era house. It works pretty well, so we haven't been in a hurry to replace it, but now I need to know how to light it.
Earlier this week we had a carbon monoxide alarm go ff. We called the fire department, and they shut the gas off to the house. We've cleared up the CO issue (which was the water heater vent) and had the gas company turn the gas back on. We have one line going to the kitchen with a single shut-off valve, and that is in the on position. Our same-era Caloric cooktop is working fine, but we haven't been able to light the oven back up. We don't smell any gas coming from the pilot, which makes me think that some safety device is keeping gas from reaching the pilot when it's not lit. I've attached some photos of what looks to be the pilot in the hopes that someone will recognize the system and give us some advice on how to re-light the pilot.
Thanks!
Edit: For some reason, it rotated the oven view 90-degrees counter-clockwise and the pilot views 180-degrees.
