There should be two propane switches - one on the electrical panel (a circuit breaker) and one near the stove. Flip on the circuit breaker and have someone listen to the solenoid while you flip the switch near the stove. If the solenoid is working, make sure you have enough gas in the cylinder. Is there a pressure gauge? How much pressure is there? Beginning of the season, I always top off the propane. Try that. Next turn on the gas at the stove, and listen for gas flowing. Finally, try lighting the stove using a match instead of using the starter swtitch at the stove. Remember, if the stove hasn't been used in a long time, it might take a while for gas to run from the cylinder to the stove.
