What would cause the oven to only light on broil and not bake. The top burner works but the lower one does not. gas stove burners work, broiler works, oven doesn't heat up.
Most likely a hot-surface ignitor has failed. If it doesn't consume enough current, the gas valve won't open. It's usually a fairly easy fix, once you gain access to the ignitor and have a new one to replace it with. Make sure you unplug the range...
I have a jenn-air jgr8850bdq the burners and brioler lights up but not the oven burner. I pulled the bottum cover out and see the igniter is working fine, plenty of glow. I do not smell any gas when atempting to light the oven and igniter has plenty of glow. what causes the oven not to light.

First look to see if the ignitor is coming on. Most common problem is the ignitor is weak or just bad. When the power is applied to the ignitor it glows and builds up resistance to open the gas valve then it lights. If the ignitor is weak or bad it will not build up enough resistance for gas to come into the burner. One sign of this would be a "woosh" sound when it trys to light. If the ignitor is coming on but not lighting it is most likely the ignitor is bad. Should have a full glow. Also, if the ignitor looks whiteish in color this is a sign of it going bad. You can compare to the broil ignitor to be sure. If the ignitor doesn't come on at all will need to see if you have power to the ignitor. Let me know what you find and let's solve it before you rate the solution.
