    If the stove has a standing pilot light, the thermocouple probably went. That’s in the center of the cooktop. Findingg stove parts ffor one that old will probably be difficult Enter Frank Nelson,stove salesman.

    Yes the stove is getting old too, BUT it doesn’t have to get down on it’s knees.

    Not likely a burner problem is none of them work. I’m expecting to find the valve on the gas line behind the stove got bumped into the “off” position.

    Saturday, it was going “Click, click, click!”, so it’s probably piezoelectric, not a classic pilot light.

    Getting old is trouble, indeed. Ten or so years ago, I replaced our sump pumps, myself. Now I’m replacing them again, and, though I could still do it in theory, my knees are saying, “Ha-ha! Not bloody likely!” So I’m hiring someone.
