Hi All,
The valves on our Princess stove are becoming problematic (1986 E35). Most of the time they work just fine, then all of a sudden you can't turn them at all - often when the burner is on - my wife will call me to fix it & I sometimes have to play with it for 2 or 3 minutes to get it to turn off. Then 5 minutes later they'll work just fine every time you turn them. At the boat show I asked the rep selling the stoves & he said stove valve grease would do the trick. Problem is it's just a nightmare of pipes & small igniter tubes going everywhere. I'm afraid I'm going to bend one of the peizo tubes or something just getting the valves out.
Has anyone attempted greasing all their valves?
Thanks,
