Here's the problem the burners on top work fine and we have no error codes anywhere but the oven itself is the issue. If you turn it on it will at times come up to the temp set but will not hold the temp and cooking takes twice as long as it should other times it seems to take forever for it to even get to the temp set we've checked the gas lines and like I stated the burners on top work fine. Any ideas or help will be appreciated Thanks

Any ideas or help will be appreciated Thanks Chance, Check for a proper amp draw or voltage from the igniter, it's most likely weak, Part number: AP2020569
When the igniter is glowing, it has to draw 3.2 to 3.6 amps or produce 3.2 to 3.6 VAC to the terminals of the bake burner valve in order to release the gas and ignite. If the igniter is weak it will react intermittently and you'll get several issues with the temperature. Good Luck, :) :) :)

First, get access to everything, the igniter, oven burner valve and wiring. (You can turn the gas off to the range, if you feel safer). Program a bake cycle and temperature. Attach, or place the meter probes on the two(2) terminals of th gas valve and check for 3.2 to 3.6 VAC . The voltage should be there in a matter of a few seconds. A slow rise, or no rise will indicate a weak igniter and it will need to be replaced. :) :) :)
