Answer

Thomas, No, at this point the control doesn't seem to be the issue. At this point as with most gas ranges, you'll need to check or replace the oven burner igniter W11596211. It is probably weak and malfunctioning. The burner igniter can come on, and glow orange, and appear to be working. But the igniter has to glow "white" hot to open the gas safety valve. If you can access a clamp on ammeter, when you turn the oven on, and the glow bar is glowing, it has to draw 3.2 to 3.6 amps in order to open the valve. Anything lower or intermittent will not allow the oven to ignite and heat consistently.
