The burners on the stove works - but the oven does not. The heating element lights up but the oven does not heat up. I cannot smell any gas getting into the oven. How can this be fixed?

You may need to replace the thermocouple that sends a signal to open the valve and let in the gas.

Replace the igniter. Even though it glows, it's obviously not letting the proper amount of voltage get back to the safety gas valve at the rear of the range. This happens when a crack occurs in the ceramic element of the igniter and fools a lot of people, including repair tech's into thinking that the valve must be bad if the igniter is still glowing. 98% of the time a new igniter will do the trick. If you're moderately handy and have a few tools available, you may be able to replace it yourself. Just be sure to unplug the range from the wall socket first.
