If you set the oven to 450* it will shut itself off within 15 to 30 seconds, never lighting. If you set the oven to a lower temp like 180*, it will begin to heat and then allow you to raise the temp to the one you need and work normally. We haven’t tried at other temps to see if there is a certain temp where it will work normally when set to it.

It is most likely the oven ignitor. What happens is it is not strong enough to keep the gas valve on. Replace it, and I will be over for Christmas Dinner!!! Tom http://www.applianceeducator.com/parts.htm
