The thermostat is what allows the burner to cycle on and off. If you remove the temb knob, there is a small screw in the center of the knob boss. Try and adjust it to see if it helps. If not, you are looking at replacing thermostat.
Hi.
The problem can be easily given by the door safety interlock switch. This oven has a door safety switch system:
13: door switch
The switch is tested by jumping it or by reading Ohms to see if it is opening and closing circuit by reading zero and infinity when operated.
If the switch is OK, the spark module and ignitor is second in list. Coils are unlikely to be the problem because when they fail the burner does not work at all. The flame sensor may cause the same problem, but it rarely fails. With this ovens the flame sensor is also integrated in the ignition module. If the door is OK check also wiring to flame sensor probe and ignitor.
Here diagrams.
Here parts.

It can be a defective flame sensor. The sensor is integrated with the ignitor assembly. About the door switch, that should be tested by jumping it. Simple observation on the fact that turns on and off when you close and open the door is not enough to say that it is OK. If the oven works well after initial warm up, then it is unlikely the door lock.
You also say that the spark is fine. Ensure that problem is not that there is no spark. In case there is no spark then problem is igniter or spark box.
The flame sensor fails rarely. In this oven it is rather difficult to test. Check first everything else. One part that must be checked is the pressure regulator. There should be a pressure regulator at the back of the oven. See if that is responsible.
As said I do not think that the solenoid valve can be a problem. Depending on model you may have single or double one. You can test solenoid reading Ohms at contacts. If it is open (infinity), then it must be replaced. When solenoid is open the valve does never work, by the way.

i checked the switch...when i turn on oven pilot lights, (in front center) but the burnes won't, this morning it took several tries before burners lit...when i open doors the switch cuts off burners and pilot..when i close the doors pilot lights and burners light...but ran for a while and quite...usually once we get them lit oven continues to work all day...then hard to get started the next morning...
let me keep this simple..in the morning i turn the stove on..the pilot lightd..but then sometimes the burner lights and sometimes it dosen't....how does the pilot light the burner ? thanks
