Why is it that my Kenmore gas stove glow bar works fine yet oven will not light?

* The oven igniter is faulty. The oven igniter is responsible for creating the spark that lights the gas in the oven. If the igniter is faulty, it won't be able to create a spark, and the oven won't light.

* The gas valve is closed. The gas valve controls the flow of gas to the oven. If the gas valve is closed, the oven won't be able to get the gas it needs to light.

* The oven thermostat is faulty. The oven thermostat controls the temperature of the oven. If the thermostat is faulty, it may not be able to turn on the oven when it reaches the desired temperature.

To troubleshoot the problem, you can:

* Check the oven igniter. The oven igniter is usually located at the bottom of the oven. If it's glowing, it's working properly. If it's not glowing, you may need to replace it.

* Check the gas valve. The gas valve is usually located near the oven's control panel. If it's turned off, turn it on.

* Check the oven thermostat. The oven thermostat is usually located on the oven's control panel. Turn the thermostat to a higher temperature and see if the oven lights.

If you're still having trouble getting your oven to light, you may need to contact a qualified repair technician.
