Hello, I have a gas oven in a rental property. The burner work ,but, the oven/broiler doesn't. The tenant told me he replaced a part about a month ago and it worked for a while. I think it was a pilot light maybe, his english isn't the best. I'm reluctant to fool around with a gas appliance. Should I try and light the oven with a match??? I'm not sure how old it is. Should I repair or replace??? Thanks for your help in advance, Eric

Hello: Eric
Without the needed detailed information specific to the brand, model, year and type of ignition system, I would not be able to more precisely determine the problem nor offer accurate correctional methods.
Almost every conceivable oven problem has already been asked and replied to in this forum topic.
Suggestions:
Read the manufacturers online web site for product information, problem possibilities, causes and solving methods, part locations, disassembly, reassembly methods, repair proceedures, and instructions, pictorials and schematics, which may be available online.
An excellent source for orginal replacement parts is your local retail appliance parts store. Appliance parts dealers test parts and carry replacement parts for all appliances. Parts dealers are listed in the phone book under appliances.
Retail parts dealers can also help determine what the possible problem may be. Bring the make, model and serial numbers and stop in at the store. The info will help to determine the possible problem causes.
Read the prior topics, within this forum, on this subject of ovens and the replies offered. I'm sure you'll locate the exact symptom and the correctional possibility.
