Your pilot flame has gone out. There is an adjustment on the oven
control , but if you don't know how to set it, call a repairman. HTH


Not if it's fairly new. :-)

Maybe, maybe not. Not enough info was given.
Also, I'm not sure that Tappan is still an active brand. If not, it is
indeed a few years old.

Ranges with oven pilot lights are still being made and sold.
I recently bought one for a rental where there was no electrical
outlet near the stove and I was lazy...and admittedly cheap...
