I have a Kenmore Gas range and the oven ignites but it doesn't heat up. Please help me if you know what's wrong. I dont want to have to spend money on a new stove.

When you say that it ignites do you mean that the glow bar ignitor

It most likely needs an ignitor.

Yes, they can light up and still not be working properly, very common failure.
