I have a GE gas oven. The pilot light won't come on. It's not the

triggered electrically. Anyway, stove top works just fine. Just the
oven pilot light will not work. Since the pilot light doesn't come
on, there's no gas either.

Any recommendations?

Light it with a match.

If it's an electric pilot, the current must go through the pilot for it
to turn on the gas. Usually the pilot or the gas solenoid is bad and
both give the same symptoms since they are in series.
