No propane to stove / front furnace

[JTN8]

So when I put my kitchen slide out on my 14 390BH, I get no gas to my stove or furnace. If I bring the slide back in everything works again. Everything else still works fine regardless of the slide but those two won't work with the slide out. I did some tests and it seems like the stove stays on until the last few inches and then I lose gas to the burner. Has anyone had this problem?, does anyone know where the gas lines may be getting kinked when the slide goes out? And are the lines accessed from the basement or the kitchen? I see the two line that go to the stove and furnace under my sink and behind the drawers to the right of the sink but then I don't know where they go when the slide goes out. I know they are under the fridge too but between the fridge and where they are behind the drawers is where I'm lost! Any help would be great.

Thank you

Jason

Normally I would have told you to turn on your propane detector because when it's off it won't allow gas to feed those two things. However since you have gas except, when slides fully open I would think that there is a kink somewhere. DId it work fine before and all of a sudden stop working? I believe there are gas lines that hang in the storage compartment (in my '08 anyway), could you have something stuffed in there that is catching and kinking a line?
It is a 2014 and under warranty so barring those things I have mentioned let your dealer figure it out and have a relaxing coffee while they scratch their heads

Yes it was working fine since I purchased it. This just started on my last trip. It is under warranty but I was hoping maybe it was something simple I could fix without taking it to a dealer. Nothing in the basement that is hitting or kinking any lines.

I had a problem with my stove similar to what your talking about. Mine was a kink in the gas line. In the kitchen slide between the fridge and sink if it's closed. Look in there with a flashlight. You should see the gas line come up thru the floor. Mine did not have any cover on the line so when the slide went out it kinked. We took a plastic pipe that was bent cut it in half and clamped it over the gas line. This allows it to stay in shape and not get kinked. I hope this may help you. Ken

Thanks for the info!! I'll look at that once I get home. (Currently on travel in Panama City fl for work) I figure it's something like that since it works with the slide in and then doesn't when I put it out. Thanks again!

Here are two pictures. With the Slide in there is a false panel you can pull off and access the line. The other pic - the has line in on the left. It's a black hose you can see I added a bent PVC to it.

Thanks so much for the pics!!!! That helps a lot! I didn't realize that panel came off, funny thing is I had my arms all wrapped up under it trying to feel the lines!! That will make it much easier!! Thanks again!

Yeah, I found it by mistake one day. Your welcome, good luck with repair.

Just an update, pulled the panel off and the rubber propane line was kinked. Spot tied it to the other lines in there and it fixed the problem. Thanks for the help!!!
