Question

My Imperial 80 is doing a couple of different things. Sometimes the pilot light will not ignite and occasionally it will light and the burner will not come on. Sometimes everything works perfectly, but once in a while when the burner lights, it rocks the stove.

The pilot lights electronic, the the burner. And yes, sometimes there is a little boom. Not often.

Answer

whats happening is ur pilot valve and main valve are most likely opening at the same time letting to much gas into system, u need to replace the gas valve and ignition control and i would have it done soon.
