Hi, figured I'd ask. This is one of the 'out of my experience set'.
The oven portion of my 4 burner gas stove stopped working. It no longer
lights and there is no smell of gas. The heating element in this model
is under a plate (not an easily removed one either, complete dismantle
required from the looks of it to get to the element).

I already called our appliance folks some time back on another issue
with it and the main problem they say is parts no longer exist for this
model. It was part of the original equipment when the house was made in
1963 apparently. Kenmore.

Lets face it, it's so very dated we planned to replace anyways, but just
not right now.

A toaster oven will cook most small stuff you might make in the oven so
maybe use the oven for its normal use - storing pots and pans?
