Re: main oven dont light there is no gas coming through
Check the main oven burner and look for a small thin bar that goes across the burner on the left or right hand side, push it down and across into its seating. its part of a sensing device for the gas flow

Yes, the majority gas ovens with mains ignition can be bye passed you ether have a grill cover at the top of oven door or the bottom on the outside and somewhere between the grill slots there should be a small shaft with a slot in the end to enable you to turn it by screwdriver to put the gas through to the burner so your can manually when there is a power cut Ect.
You will need to look and see if the igniter is glowing a bright red. If it is weak, the oven will not light. Here is the igniter if you need to order it. Also check and make sure your getting 3.2-3.6 volts AC to the valve.
Possibly the ignitor for the main oven burner has failed--
An observation question:
When the Broiler 'lights' and comes on, do you notice the ignitor glowing bright, before the gas valve (to the Broiler) opens, and you get the Broiler lighting---
Now-- for the main burner to come on, -- there has to be a similar bright glow from the MAIN BURNER ignitor, before its main burner gas valve can open-- No Ignitor?-- No ignition, and not Main Oven burner!
The new style OPD valves have a small brass ring located in the female
fitting on the LP tank. Over time this ring can work loose and then it
does not allow the male fitting to fully depress the OPD valve thus
reducing your gas flow
Using a small flat bladed screw driver tighten the small brass ring This
should solve your problem
Look for spider webs in the venturi tubes, check the orfices or it could be faulty controls. Verify the tank working properly by trying on another grill. Eric
The most common problem for gas surface burners is that they get gas but don't light. This is generally caused by dirt or grease splatters on the burner itself. Residential-grade range/stove burners are round and have small holes around their perimeter to allow gas to flow out and create a round flame. The gas coming from these holes is often ignited by a small vertical row of holes on the side of the burner. If these vertical holes are clogged or obstructed, the gas can't ignite.
The solution is to clean the burners thoroughly. Use a toothpick to clear the small vertical holes, then allow the burner to dry completely and try lighting it again. If it doesn't light immediately, either repeat the procedure or call a qualified appliance repair technician.
1 of 2 things will normally happen and most of the time both things will break. You have two main componets that will wear out 1)your igniter 2)the gas burner tube. Usually what will happen is the gas burner tube allows gas to come out of 3 very small holes-over time and with help from grease, the 3 small holes will turn into a large hole and will allow too much gas to come out and it will destroy your igniter also. Luckly RepairClinic.com sells both pieces in a kit. You can check you igniter with multimeter for continuity (if it is broke-safety kicks in and wont allow gas to work).
All of these ranges have a spark module at each burner sight and they all click when ever you attempt to light one burner. Therefore, it can not be assummed that the spark module for those nonworking burners are actually clicking. Remove the burner covers and actually look for the sparks. If there is no spark make sure the connections are nice and tight. IF they are, you most likely need to replace the spark module.
