Gas stove issue
Well we are getting ready to take the camper out for our initial trip of the summer and in checking things out find that one gas burner works and 2 do not hmmmmm. Obviously there is gas As we can turn one burner on.......any thoughts on what can be causing two dead burners?

Your avatar is confusing over what year you own, a 2016 or 2017? I assume you have the 3 burner Suburban? What does your manual say, if you use a lighter does it work? is it a propane issue or lighting issue?

It could be that your gas jets are plugged. In the picture below, they are located to the right of the knobs where the air cutouts are located. They can be assessed by taking off the nut holding the burner and removing the gas piping. The gas jet will be screwed into the end of the gas manifold.

I just checked in the "Files" section above here on the forum is the Suburban manual if that helps....

I wonder if you can get the little spiders in there? I've heard of them in the fridge tubes.

Is it the flush type similar to this? Not sure if they made them with 3 burners.

see if you can match light the other burners (one at a time!). I had one of the igniters go out on my 3-burner+oven in my 2014 E21, I had to replace the wire to the igniter. otherrwise, I would do a close visual inspection of the gas manifold and air tubes.

We have 3 burners with the oven in our 19 . After we got home from Quartzite found one of the burners not lighting . Lifted up the stove top and found one of the wires had come off . Replaced and all working again . Probably shook the wire off . Pat

On two occasions our stovetop burners would not light using the igniter
One time the igniter wire came loose from the crimp wire terminal
The second time the igniter self destructed
If I remember correctly I stole an igniter off an old BBQ
grill and Rube Goldberged one together

I don't have an oven, just the 3 burner stove top, it has no igniters.

It is likely the Atwood DV30 which was used before Escape changed to the recessed Suburban SDS2. If it is this cooktop the burners are manually lit so a bad igniter or wiring cannot be the issue.

The reason that I asked was that on our SDS2 some water, not a lot, was spilled and it got into the burners and they wouldn't light until I blew the individual gas lines out. Not sure if that could happen on any other model.

I found a better picture of the gas jet location for the Atwood- it is posted below.
