I have a 10 yr. old Caloric Gas range with no pilot lights and all of a sudden the Ultra Ray Broiler won't go on and the Bake oven won't go on, any ideas? Also who took over Caloric if I need to call for factory service? Thanks in advance. Model # RSK3700UL

Hello seacilian. Welcome to the Gas Appliances topic.
If the broiler and the oven do not work, do they have the same hot surface igniter's (HSI) or use separate ones for each? If neither igniter glows the problem may be in the selection control switch or main circuit board.
If one HSI glows and to other does not or either glow weakly or not at all, the igniter's may be worn out or burned out.
Difficult to determine based upon the limited information you provided. What needs to be known is if the appliance has separate igniter's and if so, which one works and which one does not. Does either HSI glow?
