Range is installed in our Heartland RV. Suburban put out a TSB to have silicone placed at wiring connections on stove knobs under stove top. Then they put out a recall to disconnected and cap the wiring for the illumination of the stove knobs and the oven lighting. The range has an issue with the temperature control that it doesn’t reach indicated temperature. The main issue is that when the pilot is lit and you set it to a temperature like 300 degrees it lights okay. But, after a few minutes the burner goes out and so does the pilot. You have to continually relate the pilot and each time turn the range to a higher temperature to keep the burner in the oven on to cook anything. Suburban has indicated that it is a manifold issue on the top of the stove but has not provided any corrective action or recall on any of this. The Range should be recalled and replaced.
