GE XL44 gas oven clicks several times when igniting and stopping

Hello all,

I have a GE XL44 gas oven that we got with the house we bought. Aside from not heating exactly to what we set it to (we need to turn the temp up a little and it is fine), the oven is working fine but I notice that when it ignites, it clicks maybe 5 or so times before the flame comes on and then when the flame stops, maybe another 3 or so times. Once fully preheated the flame only stays on for a minute or so and then this repeats.

Is this normal? I don’t remember it used to click so often during igniting and stopping. If not, what can I do to fix it?

Note, the oven looks almost exactly like this one (burner knobs are different): http://www.best-microwave-ovens-review.the-best-review.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/ge-ranges-parts.jpeg
