Hello, I have an intermittent problem with my Whirlpool Gold Accubake oven (Model #: GS440LEMQ). During the normal course of baking the oven will obviously re-light many times to maintain the set temperature. I have a situation where sometimes the oven will begin to lose heat and never re-light. I can tell when this is about to happen because I'll see the "HEAT" indicator come on, then I'll hear the ignitor start clicking along with the gas coming on. After about 5 clicks, the gas shuts off. After a couple of minutes, it will cycle through and try again. Eventually, it will stop cycling throught the ignition process and just give up completely. At this point, I hit "CANCEL" and wait about 15 mins. to turn on the oven again.
When everything is working, I'll only hear 1 or 2 clicks and then the gas continues to flow (based on the "hissing" sound). It almost seems like the oven realizes that its not getting a good ignition, so it gives up completely.
The rangetop works fine.
Any help would be appreciated...Thanks.
