Seaward Princess stove

Before I did anything else I'd make SURE I had gas and the valve is open.
Then I'd check the electrical connections at the solenoid valve to see that it was getting power when the switch was turned on (could be something as simple as a loose/corroded connection). If you have gas and electricity to the valve but still no gas to the stove then the valve is suspect.

Any time I change gas bottles I get air in the gas line, and I have to hold the knob on the stove down for a while till the air is purged from the gas line. Until it is the stove won't light.
I really don't think the problem is with your stove; They're pretty simple and mine has been trouble-free for years.

Thanks for the good link, a lof of funny pictures. 'SELF SUFFICIENCY IS ADDICTIVE' - I am an addict, that's for sure.
Upon disassembly and ispection found: plastic ignitor/regulator knob cracked and after every other TURN-OFF slipped one notch toward complete SHUT-OFF until ther is no more room to OPEN. Symptom: hard rotating of the knob - valve completely in shut-off.
Glued knob with craz y glue, but will call to order replacement. Thank you for you advice.
