Question about Whirlpool Kitchen Ranges
Cooktop works fine. This range was in a new home my son bought so we don't know much about it. Owner says oven stopped working after her husband passed and she never had it looked at. We are hoping to be able to fix since a new range is not in the budget. Thanks for your help.
All Gas Ovens can be fixed, but the should be serviced by a registered gas technician. The spark igniter is only one part of the lighting procedure, they also have a thermocouple, which is a safety device that open the main gas valve once certainly criteria are met usually a pilot light flame. The parts schematic shows the gas valve and it is $181. I don't see a safety thermocouple.

This is the part that is likely to have failed, but I am reluctant to suggest you change it on my say so. Pay the extra $75 for a qualified technician to diagnose and replace. It has electrical contacts, so the fail safe is probably inside and is dependent on the spark igniter being fully functional.
