I bought a C 30 mkll in September 2020 and i had trouble lighting the
stove the first time. Discovered my operator error of not pushing the
control knob in while trying to lite burner. Then discovered that you had
to hold it in for about 5 to 10 seconds after the burner ignited to get it
to stay
You should be able to hear the solenoid click when power is applied. If
not, either it has failed, is stuck, or the connections need cleaning up.
In my case, I once had it stick closed due to an accumulation of a waxy goo
which became quite viscous when cold. I assume this was due to moisture and
gas systems should be replaced due to age and safety concerns

What Dave said is essentially correct.
1. Make sure
Check the solenoid connection, as well. On my boat, the PO used tape to
connect the Solenoid wires to the switch. Of course, the connection had
come undone. The solenoid was corroded, and still didn't work with a proper
connection, so I still had to replace it.

What Dave said is essentially correct.
1. Make sure the tank has gas in it. Shake it, and if you feel liquid
sloshing around, you have fuel.
2. Check the solenoid. Have someone flip the switch inside while you're
at the solenoid. It should make a distinct clip and get warm.
3. Check the
….And weigh the tank to confirm it contains propane. There will be a tare
(empty container) weight stamped on the outside. While you’re at it check the
certification date on the tank.
The solenoid will get warm when it operates and will draw around 1a - if you
have an ammeter you can see
Replace the regulator first. I thought it was the solenoid and it was the
regulator.

There should be two propane switches - one on the electrical panel (a
circuit breaker) and one near the stove. Flip on the circuit breaker and
have someone listen to the solenoid while you flip the switch near the
stove. If the solenoid is working, make sure you have enough gas in the
cylinder. Is
