Could you get your digital camera in a position to use the screen to see what's going on in there?

Oh, I get it ... you just slide the skinny screen part through the little gap, and look into the lens part thingy. That might work.

Me thinks this may require a persuader.

can you spin something around inside the draw with your chopstick.

Lots patience will be required moving things little by little and rattleing the draw to settle the contents from time to time. push the offending object from one side of the draw to the other side. just jeep patiently working at moving any object you can.

Yes...the patient jeeping on will be the answer.

Turn off the pilot. Turn on the gas. Leave.

Is it still stuck?

Do you have a metal yard stick? If you slip it into the drawer and push it around it often loosens the stuck item.

Are you forgetting the drunken night when you superglued the neighbor's ferret into the bottom of your oven?

Don't you ever use your digicam/cellphone to look at things you can't see directly? like hold it around a corner ... snap ... bring it back and see what you got - it's very handy for things in weird locations

I talked to a friend of mine who who works in appliance repair and he swears that you should have enough play in the gas line to pull it away from the wall and look inside the drawer from the back of the oven to see what the problem is.

There has to be enough play or it never would have gotten installed in the first place.

No.

But in this case I understand the opening gap is 1/2 inch wide. So unless she has an endoscope ....

Almost all gas lines are flexible, and a minimum of twenty four inches. If you tried moving your stove, and it didn't budge, you were probally being to dainty about it, and it just needs a little jarring. Don't be afraid. Gas explosions usually occur only in the middle of the night
