This gas range/oven is in a mobile home I purchased - hooked up to natural gas. The stovetop burners work fine - however the oven burner element will not light up. The pilot light stays on in the oven, and when you attempt to turn on the oven, the pilot light will elongate and essentially pass thru the pilot light element. It looks like it is trying to light the burner element but it never does. Also, there is no sound of "hissing gas" when you turn on the oven - just the pilot light getting larger. It appears that the pilot light element may have been somehow knocked out of alignment perhaps - it points downwards away from the burner element and the end of the pilot light element is about an inch away from the burner element. Also, occasionally the oven pilot light will go out and need to be relit. Ideas?
