The surface burners are fine, so there is an active gas line.

Any suggestions?

Turn the oven gas on high and stick your head in


Don't come out until you see the light.

Check the thermocouple with a multimeter and lighter/torch

Talk dirty to it. That might turn it on.

This will sound like a BS answer but take a straw and blow some air into the gas 'port' for the oven. Frequently, a tiny piece of stuff clogs the very tiny opening.

Gas company probably shut it down. Did you remember to renew your pilot's license?

Do you know for a fact that it has an actual pilot? Many stoves these days have an element that gets red hot when you turn the oven on. Element could have burned out.

It's much more efficient than having an actual flame burning all the time.

Check youtube with name and model of oven. Pretty sure you will have the answer in a few minutes and how to repair. I repaired my parents oven in about 30 minutes. Good luck. ( be sure to turn off the power first.

You need a new igniter. $25 buy the generic one they are all the same.
