Most Common Solution
If your gas oven is not heating up and you do not see a spark near the bake or broiler burner tube when the oven is on, using a multimeter can help determine if electricity is reaching the spark module. If the module is receiving power but the oven still isn't heating, it is likely that the spark module is faulty and needs to be replaced.
