Hello, we have a 19 year old Dovre 750 which burns propane and have already replaced the thermopile twice. The pilot won't stay lit. Where do we go from here? We love the stove and are willing to replace the entire unit if need be but need to know what and where to buy?
 
The thermopile generates the millivolts to keep the gas flowing to the burner.
The thermocouple generates the millivolts to keep the gas flowing to the pilot.
You probably need a new thermocouple.
 
Did he take a reading on the t-couple to see how many milliVolts are being generated?
He will need a multimeter set to volts DC. The reading needs to be above 20 & should
ideally be 27 - 28mV...
