Geneal Electric XL44 gas oven won't light

My oven was working a little yesterday and then I went back into turn it higher on heat and went back about 15 to 30 minutes later and the oven was cold and have tried to relight it and it does nothing but the stoves eyes all do work…does any one know what is wrong???

Watchwoman,

You most likely have a weak or broken oven burner Igniter,

What you could do is, remove the oven bottom panel and flame spreader, attached to the burner tube, select a bake temperature,
and observe the igniter, it should turn orange in a few seconds, and the glow should intensify to a "white hot" glow in a few seconds(20 or 30 seconds) and you should see the burner ignite.

as long as it glows, the problem is not in the control,
If it does glow "white hot" then the problem is in the wiring from the igniter to the gas valve or a bad oven bake valve,(not likely at this point).

Good Luck,
