I turn on the top oven and a small flame appears at the back of oven but this flame never gets any warmer irrespective of weather the oven knob is on no.1 or no.8, unable to cook anything in top oven.

    Until the thermocouple informs the control that the flame has warmed its end to the correct temperature the valve will remain set to low. It may be the pilot flame jet contaminated or a faulty thermocouple or less likely the valve itself.
