Jep,
The next step is to remove, the oven bottom panel, and the flame spreader. Check the burner venturi holes in the burner tube. Check and make sure the burner orifice is centerred in the burner tube opening and the shutter opening is adjusted 1/2 to 3/4 open.

You'll need to get your propane supply company out and check for 10 WCI of pressure to the range, under a load (all burners ignited and burning).
That would be the next step from here.

:) :) :)

JEP,

It's doubtful, you'll need a thermostat, if anything, you need to check the oven burner igniter,

Part number: AP2150412
Part number: AP2150412


For proper amperage and voltage to the burner safety valve.
The igniter needs to draw 3.2 to 3.6 amps, and produce 3.2 to 3.6 VAC to the valve when it is glowing. Low voltage or amps, can cause the valve to react intermittently, and it would display most of the symptoms you describe.

Thanks and Good Luck,

:) :) :)
