I have a 1 yr old Tappan gas stove (not sure of model number off hand) where the oven is not working. It appears that it is not getting gas to the oven portion. The cooktop stove is working properly on all 4 burners. Don't see any wires or lines disconnected. Any ideas?

It is a Gas Stove. It can only be worked on by a registered gas technician who will supply and fit the parts. It looks like 'Revelation' is the model number.
make this test and use the multimeter. God bless you
No power
Make sure there's power getting to your range, oven or cook top.
Check for a tripped circuit breaker or a blown fuse. Check the wall
socket for power with a voltmeter or by plugging something else in.
that ignitor should lite the flame within 40 to 60 seconds if not the ignitor is bad.even though it glows red it doesn't mean it's good it works with amps change the ignitor
Serial number labels are usually located in any one of a number of places -
Under the cooktop in one of the corners Inside the oven door frame (not on the door) Behind the bottom drawer pullout on the oven, left hand side Oven back.
If this unit is anything less than 20 years old, there will be a label somewhere.
Reply back you findings and I can give you more information as to how to repair, and we can identify part numbers. You might also try www.repairclinic.com and see if you can drill down through parts when only knowing the manufacturer.
Lets take the oven problem first. Sounds like you have a Hot Surface Ignitor problem. This is the device that glows and lights the burner. You can buy a universal ignitor at most appliance or heating and air conditioning supply houses. Note carefully how the old one is mounted. You may have to make some adjustments to mount the new ignitor, but it MUST be close to the gas burner like the old one! You don't smell gas because the gas valve will not open until the ignitor is hot. All ignitors work with the same voltage, so simply connect the new wires to the old ones.
I'm not certain if you have a standing pilot for the stove top burners or electronic ignition. Remove the top panel to check. If you have a gas pilot, relight it. If electronic ignition, clean the ignitors. If that does not solve the problem you may have to call a technician, as these systems can be complex.
Will need to find the correct model # somewhere on the range then go to www.appliancepartspros.com or www.www3.sears.com and you will find it there. I found thermostats on those sites for a model # close to yours and most likely the same one. Sears was about $72 and appliancepartspros was about $78. Hopes this helps.
