I'm having a similar issue with a Hotpoint model# RGB508ET4WH. The stovetop burners work but when I turn on the over it does not light, I do not hear or smell gas either. Does not appear to have a pilot light. Any help would be appreciated, I would like to have a baked potato with dinner tommorow. :cool:

Most likely the problem with your oven is a bad igniter (#218 on the #4 break down diagram). - The part number for the oven igniter is AP2020569 - Here are the break down diagrams for the Hotpoint range Model RGB508ET4WHGood luck. Gene.

Thanks for the quick response. After some searching around I had a feeling it might be the igniter. Hopefully I can find one locally tommorow. Are they usually brand specific or are they a common part that is interchangable between many ovens?

A flat igniter can be interchange with a flat igniter only. Also the length of the ceramic part is important.

In order to provide the most accurate advise I need the complete model number of the unit and more specific description of the problem.
Post it as a new thread, please.
