When it is rainy or even humid outside our oven will not work.:confused: The ignitor will click the gas will come through it will turn on but the ignitor will keep clicking and then the gas will shut off. Usually it will click about 4 times, that how I can tell if we are going to have microwave pizza or order out. :) This is really frustrating and I am ready to ditch this thing.

Is this a built in oven or a free standing range?

Ok, you should find a tag with the model number on it. Open the storage drawer and look on the frame usually on the left side. If it's not there raise the top and look on the bottom plate.

It did not until today. I tried turning the broiler on to "dry up" the oven to see if it would turn on then. But the broiler did the same thing. If its low humidity or if we have the air or heat on in the house it starts right up.

If both the bake & broil are doing that when it's humid. It sounds like the moisure in the air is somehow getting into the control board, part #AP3045887)
You might want to get into the control panel and check for loose wires A& corrosion.
Do you get any error codes?
