I have a GE gas oven
Hotpoint Electric Ignition
Model #: RGB528 ET4WW
Serial #: D5156500P
yesterday the oven and broiler stoped working. I thought I had a pilot light but I'm not sure. I tried turning the gas on and lighting it with a match and it didn't work. I do not smell any gas so I'm guessing a safety valve has shut the gas off. The stovetop burners all work normally. The clock works as usual too. I can't find a manual for this. Do I have a pilot light? if so how do I reignite it? if not what are possible causes? I'm trying to fix this myself.
Thanks

Here is a brainteaser for you. Hotpoint model RGB526PEA1WH. Gas oven will not burn unless the top burners are lite first. I can see the oven igniter light up, but the gas is not flowing to begin its burn. I turn on the top burners for a minute or so, then like majik the oven begins to burn.
Once in a while the oven will begin to burn without lighting the top burner, but very rarely. Sometimes the oven will shut off after reaching the proper temp, but fail to re-lite to maintain the cooking temperature.
ideas?
You ignitor is going out you will need to replace it the ignitor needs to draw a min of 3.2 amps in order to open the gas valve coil if short of this it will not open at thimes it may just have enough to open
Is there 2 igniters that need to b replaced or just one?
