  • This is my first time on this (seems to be ..magnificent site).. how can I tell, if their are others on site, at this hour? I’ve just realized it’s 1am.. – Barbie May 8 '20 at 7:44
  • In many ovens, the main gas valve is controlled by a thermocouple that senses the pilot light. That way if the pilot isn't lit, then there's no way to open the main gas valve (which is a good thing.) When I Google this model number, the parts lists mention an igniter, which would mean there is no pilot and your problem may lie there instead. – Duston May 8 '20 at 13:01
  • MIght be a coincidence if your tank ran low just at that time, if you have a tank rather than a natural gas line from the street. And just to be a bother, did you make sure there's still electrical power (plugged in, oven light comes on, etc)? – Carl Witthoft May 8 '20 at 15:27
