There is no problem with the oven preheating but when it attempts to cycle on again, the gas doesn’t ignite – the spark igniter can be heard. The issue wouldn’t be the temperature sensor, since the unit calls for heat. The spark igniter can be heard. Is the issue most likely the safety valve?

HI. This is a common issue on these units. The bake igniter will expand and move away from the burn tube over time. This causes the oven to not ignite once the gas comes out. Also if the igniter wire is damaged or terminals are corroded it will cause this issue as well. I would inspect the wire and if it checks out good you can carefully bend the igniter assembly closer to the burner assembly being careful not to break it. Please let me know if you need further assistance.
