Gas vs. Electric Range?

There's no pilot light to light in new gas ovens, as they have electronic ignition, but you can totally light burners.  My Jenn Air oven is two years old, and I can light it. That's true of Whirlpool and a few other brands I investigated.

 

ETA: the change happened in 1990, so, you know, 31 years ago....

 

Yep. The one I'm trying to "fix" is a Whirlpool. I don't know how old it is, but it has electronic ignition, no pilot lights.

When I was testing last night, trying to troubleshoot the issue, I was able to manually light the burner(s) that didn't light.

I am so glad for this topic!  I've been wanting to replace my electric range for quite some time, but it kept working. I've had both gas and electric and prefer gas. I really want a duel fuel range, but I can't afford it. Well, last week, the range started acting up, so we are going to go shopping for a gas range. We live in the country and our gas lines run right outside the kitchen window. We have gas a/c, so it won't be too hard to have a gas line run to the kitchen. The lady we bought the house from did not cook much, so she was not interested in having a gas range when she built the house.
