Trying to figure out what's wrong with our little Wedgewood stove!  All four burners on top work fine and I can light the pilot in the oven (when the knob in front is on PILOT).

Problem is, the oven never comes on. Turning the knob I can't hear any hiss of gas coming out of the burner log.  Could something be clogged?

Might be the little mercury bulb isn't positioned properly over the pilot flame.  If it doesn't heat up the big flame will never come on.  Happened to us on two different rigs...pots and pans stuffed into the oven can hit the little bulb thingy and knock it out of alignment.  Just bend it back so that its sitting right in the blue pilot flame.
