Modern ovens have a heating element, not a pilot light. Pilot lights were banned in ovens in 1987.
You really have to have an oven from the 70s or before to find one with a pilot light. I recently replaced the element in my 1980s gas stove and last month replaced the element in my 1970s gas dryer. Pilot lights started being phased out in the 70s.

Your heating element is burned out.
Unless it's an older model that uses a pilot...he can check this by looking up the make and model of the oven and googling it...along with "main burner won't light". You can find anything on the internet now adays.

Even smarter yet!
I agree, a combo gas stove with electric oven is the best kind of oven/stove combo.
Gas stoves can be unreliable.

Piezo electric starters are in some modern ovens, not a heating element, the piezo unit makes a spark, it's not a heating element. very few ovens use an electric element to light because the piezo unit is cheap
pilot light

This is what they look like. They're made from a rather fragile metallic/ceramic material

which is why many manufacturers opt for the piezo starters, fewer warranty repairs on initial installs

It would be easy to tell if he had a piezo electric starter because they make a clicking sound. Most stove tops have piezoelectric starters, but the oven part it more Likely to be an element.

if the piezo starter is bad it typically will not make a clicking sound

Well. Since op's broiler works. This will be easy. If he looks at the broiler and when he turns it on there is a bright red to white glow before the gas comes on, then he has an element. If it clicks then he has a piezoelectric starter. If the gas comes on immediately, then he has a pilot light.

The stove top burners click but I am not sure if the oven does. There is a little light bulb at the back that was glowing for a little before the gas ignited when I just turned it on broil. It still wasn't working regularly earlier, was going to toast some bread in there as I have no toaster but no So I broiled an old breakfast sammitch I had.

If it clicks then he has a piezoelectric starter. If the gas comes on immediately, then he has a pilot light.
in gas ovens the broiler and the bake unit are the same in the majority of cases, for broiling the stuff goes below the heat and for baking it goes over the heat, pulling the racks out and then this bottom piece of metal exposes it all and with that he can get an idea of what's going on. if he broils in the bottom then it should be baking as well. if he broils in the top then he has a rarity of something like an infrared system, an electric browner or an electric oven and a gas top. the latter is what I have

the gas isnt supposed to come on if he has a pilot light and the pilot light is out, that's what the thermocouple is all about, telling the gas valve that it's OK to open. if the pilot light is out and the gas valve does open then he has a seriously fucked up appliance, it's either ancient or it needs a new thrermocouple and gas valve
