That would mean the burner isn't getting gas. There shouldn't be anything on your model range that would prevent that besides a problem in the gas valve (see the following link) or a *very* slim chance of a blockage in the burner tubing.

The temperature calibration of the knob can be adjusted a bit on its back (see the following link), maybe 20-30°F. If out more than that, the oven thermostat would likely need to be replaced.

A start in diagnosing the cause of that will be seeing what the oven ignitor is doing when the oven is turned on. 

You can read about how common gas oven ignition systems work and the observations and tests necessary to start diagnosing problems with them at the following link. Your oven uses the hot surface (glow ignitor) ignition system described there.

	I have a RGB628GEV3WH Hotpoint gas range with the following issues: Right front burner won't ignite. You hear the ignitor working but burner will not catch. Can't ignite with match. Secondly - the oven started out with the temprature burning much hotter than the knob setting. It will not ignite at all now. Any idea on what parts to replace?
