There is a spark ignition plug near the burner. It could be dirty or the lead has come off. If you can hear the sound of the spark, that would mean that power is getting to the plug. If the problem continues you might consider buying a hand held gas igniter. Far cheaper than a service call.
There is a VERY complete tutorial on how to remove your oven door for hinge replacement or just for cleaning at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YFTYWsiO1M
The narrator is clear spoken and the instructions are easy to follow not to mention the fact that you can go back to it any time for a refresher if you need to. Most ovens are very similar in how the doors work so this should do the trick.
then watch the next one for the cleaning directions

I would add that you might want to wear rubber gloves. As a 5' woman I found that the oven door was a little heavy and the extra grip is handy. Be sure to have something ( like a small coffee table) to set the door on as soon as it's loose to prevent back strain.
do you have to press a button to ignite? water has in.
If it is in the oven then its different. The igniter is always trying to light the oven when the oven is on. You dont get a spark because the flame conducts electricity. if there is no flame, then you get a spark which lights the gas again (Clever init). So you either have a bit of dirt which is stoping the flame going between the two electrodes or the electrodes have got knocked and are not in the flame.
do you hear any clicking when you try to start the oven portion of the range? if not lets try this, open the lower drawer so you can see the burner bar and mechanism for lighting the bake bar. as your watching the mechanism turn on the oven (nothing should happen as per your issue) while oven is on try lighting one of the top burners, any one will do wanna check if that lites the spark and in turn lites the oven pilot.if that does infact work you have a bad spark switch for the oven control
If you are seeing the bubbled paint on wall when you open the oven door, it is more than likely heat loss past the door gaskets. They are easy to install clip on gaskets
You need a new orifice - the store you bought the appliance from should have the kit. DO NOT use lp with a natural gas orifice - you will get a huge flame!
The reason the oven ogniter will come on yet their is no heat in the oven is because that igniter is weak and not drawing the proper power to allow the gas valve to open. By replacing the oven igniter it will open the gas valve and once again heat the oven.
Hello, Their is 2 possible things that are causing the oven to not heat.
1) the pilot burner is clogged with build up and not burning corretly...the standing pitol light is small and when the oven is turned on the pilot enlarges and heats a small bulb connected to a tube on a gas valve,if the pilot burner is clogged it will burn the small pilot but will not enlarge to heat that bulb so the gas will flow to the main burner.If that is whats happening the pilot burner needs to be replaced.
2) the pilot burner is properly heating the bulb connected to the above mentioned gas valve but that gas valve is bad and not opening once the pilot has heated the bulb..so in that case that gas valve would need to be replaced
