The oven in my RV doesn't work, the safety valve is bad.
The problem is that the part is no longer available. I am an
appliance service tech, and I've searched everywhere I can think of to find one.
The stove is a Magic Chef, model CLY2245BDB.
The safety valve part number is 74006333.
If anyone knows where I might find one, or if someone has a used one laying that they are willing to sell, let me know. Otherwise I will have to replace the stove at a cost of around five to six hundred dollars.
Money I don't really want to spend unless I really have to.
Thanks

I guess trying to rebuild it is out of the question? I've had luck taking things apart, cleaning and reassembling.
Edit to add: Thinking more, probably just a bad thermocouple. It might be able to be replaced. Barring that, it sounds like an RV salvage yard.

This stove uses a safety valve instead of a thermocouple,
and once they go bad you can't rebuild them. The safety valve in my stove is leaking mercury all over the oven below the burner assembly.
Can anyone recommend an RV salvage yard that might have one?.

What you are seeing on that safety valve is not a thermocouple, its a capillary tube, and it is used to keep the pilot on when the main burner is off.

Ah, looked like a thermocouple to me. Everything I have messed with had thermocouples.
