I just found out by phone that it's a GE but she couldn't find where the
model number is. And, since it has electronic ignition, I was thinking that
the electronic ignition might be the problem. I didn't know they were
called igniters, but I started thinking maybe there is an igniter for each
burner and the one for the oven burner isn't working. And, I assume if the
igniter isn't working it automatically doesn't allow gas to flow through.

But, the good news is that an appliance repair person I know is on his way
there later this afternoon and I'm sure he'll figure it out. I'll post back
here what it turns out to be.

Thanks.

10-to1 it's the ingnitor. That is generally the part that goes out in what
is called 'electronic ignition'. The cost of the part can very ($50-$100),
but it is fairly easy to replace.

Yep, that was it. The repair person charged $140 total to fix it.

It turned out to be a General Electric model GEXL44.

Yep, the repair person is replacing the ignitor.

The number will be inside the door on the edge of the unit or on the front
of the unit when the storage/broiler is opened depending on the unit.

I would check the temp. probe that controllers the oven. It should read
about 1100 ohms when at room temp.

I just had this happen to me and everyone said it was the board so I spent
the $150 for the board and had the same problem did some more checking and
someone said check the temp probe and that was it. $39 dollar part!

So if you have a meter you can start where I wish I would have.
