[LEFT][COLOR=#000000]My oven will only light when I turn it all the way up to broil. The flame is very small and only stays on a few minutes. When it goes off I smell no gas. If temp. is set below broil the igniter just clicks away. The stove is in excellent condition and a hard to find 36 inch so I really do not want to replace it. I’m desperate for help and thanks for reading.

Rene’,
You have at least one, and possibly two problems,
A bad oven thermostat,
A bad bake burner(safety valve, if equipped).
Our, and a few other, parts supply companies have limited parts information,
and, the parts you would need, are no longer available, or there is no listing, in the data bases I can access.
Most of the range manufacturers, still produce a 36", 5 burner, free standing range, so you should be able to find a replacement.
Or you could, contact the manufacturer, or an antique parts supply on the internet.
Sorry we couldn’t be of more help,
