Why does broiler work but not bake?

If you open the oven door and the interior feels warm or hot, this can be normal. The oven interior is designed to retain heat, even several hours after the oven has been turned off after cooking.

On a newer gas oven, the burners release and set fire to the gas via an igniter called the hot surface igniter. The ignitor is a very fragile thing, whether it’s the round or the flat type. It works like a chain reaction: turning on the oven sends electricity to the igniter, causing it to heat red-hot.
