Amana range.

I'm looking to glean some knowledge from Ya'll, again. I have a 2012 Big Country 3595RE, it has an Amana range in the kitchen. The oven hasn't been used much, last week I lit the oven for my wife and she cooked in it, Monday night. Got up Tuesday morning and the pilot was out, so I went to lite it again, it wouldn't lite. The pilot wouldn't lite, nor would the oven burner lite, but all three stove eyes would lite. I had a long lighter and held it to the thermocouple for two minutes and still no joy. Should I be looking at something other than the oven gas valve? I had left one propane tank on Monday night, I had checked the propane system for leaks a couple of weeks earlier. Also on a small issue, I need a rubber grommet that the grate over the stove eyes sits in, I have one missing...I have no idea where it went. Thanks to Ya'll for your help on other things I have had to scratch my head on!

On this 10 year old oven/rangetop I would start by maybe blowing out the burner/pilot area with compressed air, and maybe even the tubes leading to them from the gas valve too. There is a type of small spider that likes to put its webs in these tiny orfices. You can find the gas valves, oven burners, and even entire ovens in E-Bay. I haven't used my oven in many years, instead relying on an electric tabletop convection oven/broiler appliance, like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/194202402630?hash=item2d375d7f46:g:c80AAOSwHYBgQpDK

I hadn't thought about something building in the orifices overnight, but I know they can. As I'm in Mississippi and we have dang near every kind of crawling critter there is... I'll blow out the lines and see if that cures the problem. We carry a small toaster oven that does most all the baking in the camper, my wife bought it. That's why the big oven isn't used much, that and it puts off more heat. We had our 15 year old and his friend so the extra space of the big oven was needed. I'm not allowed to use the kitchen, just make sure it works... Thanks for the suggestions!
