Troubleshooting guide
Suburban cooktop burner lighting, air in line, or blowout
Use this when a Suburban cooktop burner will not light normally, takes extra time after air in the gas line, or blowout happens; Suburban says delayed ignition can occur after air in the gas line, to light only one burner at a time, and to turn the knob OFF, wait five minutes, and relight only if no gas odor remains.
Use this atlas to identify likely meaning and prepare for service. Shut off power, LP gas, fuel, or water when a listed appliance condition involves flame, gas smell, exhaust, generator shutdown, high temperature, moving jacks/slides, refrigerant, 120 VAC, control boards, repeated ignition failure, or a persistent lockout. Call the appliance maker, RV dealer, or a qualified RV technician for repair.
Owner-safe checklist
- Identify the correct knob before lighting and keep the cover fully open.
- Light only one burner at a time and stay with the appliance while it is on.
- If the flame extinguishes or blows out, turn the knob OFF and wait five minutes before one normal relight attempt.
- If odor remains or the burner repeatedly will not stay lit, stop use and contact qualified service.
