Suburban Pilot Light

My suburban stove/oven combo works great except for the oven portion. Light the pilot in the oven all is good, turn oven to baking temp still all good. As soon as the burner kicks off when oven reaches desired temp the pilot goes out as well. It has done this since new and don't think this is normal. Any suggestions? Is the pilot output adjustable?


Edit: I just observed the pilot with the burner running, it eventually flickers then goes out all while the oven burner is running.

I figured it out. The thermocouple was not inline with the pilot flame. A little tweak with needle nose pliers did the trick!

Glad you got it fixed. Simple repair. Very seldom see problems with oven valves.
