Nothing happens when I turn my oven on. The heat source at the bottom does not come on and there's no gas odor. However, the gas stove still works fine, so I know that the gas supply is working. The electricity is fine because the digital display works but when I turn on oven the display only goes to 100 degrees and stays there
If the ignitor is not glowing to lite the oven then it needs to be replaced. Here is that part to order.

A gas oven will have some built in safety devices. Assuming that you have an electric pilot light sparking device, anything in the pilot light circuit could cause your problem
The oven does not "want" to turn the gas on unless there is an operating pilot system.
Since you never smell gas, but gas is available, then something in the pilot light circuit sounds like the culprit.
It could be as simple as carbon build up on the igniter or an internal fusing mechanism.
If you can get into the oven to the igniter, you could try cleaning the unit with a plastic scrunge.
I'm going to guess that this is not going to respond well to 'home grown' measures and that it will require replacement of parts.
Perhaps it is time to bite the bullet and call in repair......
good luck
