The solenoid will get warm when it operates and will draw around 1a - if you have an ammeter you can see that. If you think the solenoid is dead, verify the electrical part - wiring and terminations sound and 12v at the solenoid when the breaker and switch are on. If the range is a seaward princess, The oven has a few parts that do fail and are nla, but the stove should work. (The oven is useful for storage) As Alan says you can hear it, but it does take a little while for the propane to find its way from tank to burner at first.
