This has happened twice in the last week, but is certainly intermittent. Would this be likely the igniter or the temp sensor? The gas company checked it out and says there are no leaks. Thanks in advance.

So basically the oven fills with gas, and then lights. Whoosh, could lead to blowing the door open. Replace the ignitor. Tom
