Just purchased 2013 CR Cruiser. Pervious owner said he never used the oven. I tried to light the pilot for 20 minutes without success. Since I can't get a flame at all I'm assuming it's not the thermocouple. Maybe the gas valve at the pilot switch? anyone had this problem?
To light the pilot light Or to switch fridge to gas and have them to light after the gas has been turned off and back on. I always light the top stove eyes and let them burn a few minutes to get any air out of the lines. I let them burn until I’m able to switch the fridge to gas or to light the pilot in the oven. Might try that first.

You have to hold the oven knob in on the pilot position, and keep it held in after it lights, for about 25 seconds. Watch the pilot when you release pressure on the knob. It should stay lit. If it's warmed up, and the thermocouple is working, the gas valve is operational while the pilot is burning.
Thanks for the input. Pushed the knob in and tried to get a flame for over 20 minutes. Next day disassembled the tubing and could not blow air through it so cleaned the blockage, reassembled and were back in the baking business. Thanks for the input.
