Is this a gas stove if so and the bake burner doesnt light then you need a new ignitor and remember just because it glows doesnt mean its ok it has to draw 3 amps to open the gas valve let me know how you make out please

the pilot assembly should be located behind the drawer ..pull door open at the bottom of range pilot assembly should be located way in the back ..look with flash light its their..let me know if it works ..good luck ..a model would help me more and how old is it
Hi, The caloric ranges use diferent types of pilot igniters, to avoid any further delays, I suggest geting the model number off the stove usually located under the stove's top, you don't need any tools just lift the range top(like when you are going to clean it) the model number is located usually on a metal plate in between the burners, or if it's not there , it will be inside the oven around the door liner or the oven liner. When you do locate the model, just go to the repair clinic.com website and type in the model number, follow instruction after that. see the following figure it might help in locating the model number:
Most
gas ranges currently available employ one of 3 basic gas ignition
systems; pilot ignition, hot surface ignition system (which uses a
'glow bar' or 'glow coil' - aka an "ignitor") and a spark ignition
system. The latter two being referred to as "electronic ignition"
systems as they use electricity in one form or another to operate the
oven heating system. Only the pilot ignition system has an actual "pilot" (which is a small but real "flame") which might need manual lighting.
If the surface burners of a range are a spark ignition type, the oven IS one of the possible kinds of electronic ignition systems
and thus will not usually have a "pilot" which needs lighting. Be aware
though that just because the surface burners might light via a spark
doesn't necessarily mean the oven uses the spark type ignition system
too.
There is one older style of electronic ignition system which does
also use an oven pilot but it is very rare and such a system hasn't
been used in oven models since the early to mid 70's. It is the
'constant pilot' *electronic ignition* system
throw the piece of **** out! nobody seems to know how to do this, and there is zero customer service or help available. there are problems like this all over the net with no answers.
The solution to this problem depends on whether the oven is electric or gas.
Electric oven. If your electric oven's bake or broil element isn't working properly, either it isn't receiving electric power or the element or the oven control may need to be replaced. In many cases, the wiring to the elements can be burnt or broken.
1) Be sure the controls are set on the proper setting.
2) Be sure the stove is plugged in and/or check the circuit breaker or fuse that serves that circuit.
3) Call an appliance repairperson or replace the element yourself as follows.
4) Unplug the oven and let any hot parts cool.
5) Unscrew the mounting screws that secure the element bracket to the oven and pull out the element far enough to access its terminals. Note which wires are attached to each of the terminals, then disconnect the wires (pull off the wire clips or unscrew the wires).
6) Take the element to a parts dealer, along with your oven's model and serial number, and buy a replacement (preferably the manufacturer's suggested replacement part).
7) Reverse the process to reinstall.
Gas oven. When a gas oven doesn't get hot, it generally means that it isn't receiving gas, the gas valve isn't distributing gas to the oven burner, or the ignition system -- either an electronic ignition or pilot light -- isn't working properly. A common problem with ovens that have a pilot light is that the pilot light has gone out.
NOTE: Gas ranges younger than 10 years old have a sophisticated fault code system that governs their ignition. Always call an approved warranty service provider to handle problems with these ranges.
Here's how to troubleshoot your range:
1) Be sure the controls are set on the proper setting.
2) Be sure the stove is plugged in and/or check the circuit breaker or fuse that serves that circuit.
3) Check the gas valve to be sure the gas supply is turned on (also make sure the house's main gas valve is turned on).
4) On a stove with a pilot light, make sure the pilot light is burning. If it isn't, re-light as discussed HERE, or in your owner's manual.
5) Adjust the pilot flame (older stoves only).
6) Turn off the gas and unplug the stove (or turn off its circuit at the electrical panel).
7) Clean out the oven burner ports, using a stiff wire.
8) Plug in the stove (or turn on its circuit) and turn the gas back on. Re-light the pilot (if it has one).
9) If the oven still doesn't work, call an appliance repairperson.
