On a gas range the most common oven fault by far is a weak igniter: it glows but no longer draws enough current to open the gas valve, so the oven never lights. That is a technician diagnosis with a meter, not a visual one.
Owners can clean burner caps and ports once everything is cold, and can check that caps sit squarely, which stops most continuous clicking. If you smell gas, stop, ventilate, do not use any switch, and call the gas emergency line before anything else.
