actually i'm not sure? I know the top burners are electric. But not sure about the oven. We don't see a pilot light around the broiler anywhere and we don't smell gas when the oven is off.

oven will not heat up past 123. The broiler works fine. This oven is a Jenn Air gas downdraft. The gas burners work fine.

I have seen an oven with an electric Broiler element and a lower gas burner but not one with electric top elements and gas below.

SO Im fairly confident your total electric on this appliance. You will have to check the element and if its ok the voltage to the element. If it has a timer the timer could be keeping it off. check the settings on the timer and see if it will click when advanced. Wait a few min then the oven heat up after a few minutes.

Is the oven working now? test to see if the broiler is working too....if broiler working and oven not you need to replace the ignitor http://www.repairclinic.com/SSPartDetail.aspx?s=t-fgf316-%3d%3di12872&PartID=12872 normally when an igniter gets old it will take a little longer to ignite the gas hence the gas smell.

Viking pro. gas range/oven leaks when all knobs turned off

check both oven ignitor and broiler by turning the oven first, and time the time that the ignitor takes before the flame lights up, it should not take more then 60 to 70 seconds, and do the same to the broiler.the one that takes the longer passing that mark of the 70 seconds needs replacing it 's not getting hot enough to light the burner on time that's the one that passes gas with out igniting. replace that one.
