Dometic CU434 stove/oven - How to access thermocouple

I have the Dometic CU434 stove/oven in my 2016 Classic. The larger front burner lights-up well with a strong flame. However, when I release the knob, the flame goes out. FYI, the other two burners work well.

I think the burner's thermocouple is not working well. I cleaned the end near the burner with steel wool although it was not visibly dirty. Post cleaning, the flame still went out when the knob was released.

I want to get under the stove surface to better inspect the thermocouple. Having trouble determining how to lift the stove surface.

Any ideas? Thanks

I believe you have the same one we have in our 2018. Only way to access everything is through the back which means uninstalling it from what I understand.

I have the same issue. How did you solve the replacement?

The Spokane Airstream service advisor tells us that they can extract enough of the thermocouple to re-solder a replacement, and that it's doesn't require a complete oven/cook-top warrantee replacement.


Elsewhere I read that getting the cooked bits out of the cook-top cooling vent isn't possible without removing the over, and drilling out the rivets. I forced q-tips through the grill slots and dabbed up all the bits. An hours attention, but much less than removing the entire unit.
