I presume it is gas powered? They are available in all sorts of dual fuel variations. When you operate one element all the igniters spark. It sound like the igniter switch for the oven need adjusting. They normally operate on a cam so when you turn the control knob, the cam lobe runs up onto the micro-switch and then off it again creating a ignition spark on the way.
this cooker has an ignition system by pressing the knob of the item that you want to ignite.
As all sparkplugs work and only the oven is the source of the problem, i think that the contact behind the knob of the oven sticks
It looks like this one and is behind the facia, between the knob and the valve.
when the clock does not work, the (left hand) oven will not work too I suppose.
Often when the clock does not work, it is only the timer that does not work. In that case, the timer can be bypassed. The oven still works then, but without the timer and the clock will also work as a clock.
So no timer.
When it is an older rangemaster, and the ignition does not work, then probably are some wires leaking. I that case the power for the spark does not come to the burner sparkplug.
But when all plugs do not spark then there are 2 possibilities I think.
1 the ignitor is gone
2 the ignitor does not get power
Most likely is that some muck is shorting the electrodes in the oven, or underneath. Give the over a good vacuuming both inside and under / around the back. Failing that you'll need to isolate from mains before testing any wiring.
got the same problem on a rangemaster 110 - just had the comet engineer look at it - changed the thermostat and the spark generator - no effect. poss the flame failure device or the timer.
Make certain the burner and burner base are very clean by carefully washing in warm soapy water, using a plastic brush to scrub any residue off the surfaces. Also clean the spark ignition nub in this same way.
