Can you manually light a gas oven?
Can I manually light my stove? The burners on the top of the stove work fine. Answer: No, this is not possible due to the gas being controlled by the gas safety valve. You need the igniter to be working properly before gas is allowed out of the gas safety valve.

How do you light a gas oven without a pilot?
Most newer gas ranges and ovens don’t have pilot lights. Instead, the gas is ignited by an electric ignition system. In this type of system, an element becomes hot and glows like the filament in a lightbulb when an electric current passes through it. The heat from the filament lights the gas.
Why won’t my oven work but burners do?

Why does my oven have a pilot light on?
Troubleshooting for an Oven Pilot Light. Most ovens have a glow bar ignition system, which functions like a pilot, but is prone to different problems. If the ignition system of your oven does include a pilot, it probably also includes a spark igniter to light it so that it doesn’t have to stay on and waste gas.
Why won’t my pilot light work?
Here are the three main reasons why your pilot light may not be working. Often when your pilot light continually goes out, it is due to the thermocouple. The thermocouple is a device that shuts off the gas when the pilot light flame goes out. A few things can go wrong with the thermocouple: All of these issues will cause the pilot light to go out.
