Hey all,
I have a dish to cook but my oven won't start. /img/vbsmilies/smilies/mad.gif
It's an old gas oven, brand is "Magic Chef". There's only one knob for the gas, that adjusts the temp of the oven. Usually I turn that knob and hear the gas come out and it heats up. Tonight I turn the knob, but no sound, no heat. I checked under the oven and the pilot light is on.
I remember having been in that situation once in the past and after a day or two it resumed working normally, so I blamed it on the little clock, that seems like it can automate the start/stop of the oven? I've never used it myself so I don't know if it's even working. There's an hour and a minute hand, and then there's a little red hand that seems to be the timer hand. I've tried turning both the time hand and the hour/minute hands in every direction imaginable and that doesn't seem to do anything.
I was getting ready to work with the oven all night long.... I'm stuck!
