Where is the pilot light?

[Indy]

I have a White Westinghouse self cleaning oven. I tried to use the oven last night and it will not come on. The top burners work fine, they have electric ignitors in them but I don't think the oven did. I need to figure out where to light the pilot light, if there is one, for the oven.
Anyone have any idea where the pilot might be?

If the top burners have electric ignitors, does the stove too?

It should be electric. Do you smell gas?

I kept thinking I felt warmth but saw no flame and smelled no gas. I have someone coming over today that knows where it is...I hope!

Many of the newer stoves have a glow thing that lights the gas. The gas will only come into the tube once the glow piece has reached a certain temperature.

Yep which matches what Indy describes. That heat unit is probably burned out.

This is not a new stove, it is probably 10 years old..maybe. Will find out after work if it is the pilot or something worse.

Thanks!
