All gas appliances have a thermal cut out this will shut the gas off if the flame goes out the down side is when the thermal cut out becomes faulty it can shut the gas of when you are using the cooker the only fix is to replace the thermal cut out

Hello,
That sound very typical of a weak oven igniter. When its cold it takes so long to get to temp.it needs to be to ignite gas so gas collects in oven chamber before igniting then as its on it get hot a bit sooner. Eventually the igniter will weaken even more to the point will it will not ignite the gas at any time, replacing it now will prevent that. The part number for the igniter is WB13K21 it could be purchased at your local appliance parts store or online at;
searspartsdirect.com
repairclinic.com
apwagner.com
apdepot.com
midwestapplianceparts.com

To replace the igniter;
remove oven racks
remove oven door by locking hinges into place and lifting off of oven(if unable to figure how to lock hinges this step can be ommitted but it much easier with door out of the way)
remove oven floor
unscrew igniter from burner bar
disconnect wiring,which will be under storage drawer
pull out old igniter
run new igniter wiring down below to storage drawer area
screw igniter to burner bar
connect wiring
Test to see if works without booms when cold
reinstall oven floor
reinstall door
reinstall racks

I hope i have been able to help you fix your oven,

The "F5" fault code means a loss of the relay drive circuit. This can be caused by a faulty oven control, oven sensor circuit, lock motor circuit or loose/corroded connections. See image below. You should be able to access the oven control by raising the top and removing the cover from behind the console. The oven temperature sensor connection can likely be check by removing the oven temperature sensor from inside the oven cavity. NOTE: Disconnect the power supply from the range before raising the top and removing the console cover.

No do not lock oven when using.

Gas or Electric? If Gas at the bottom of oven where Oven burner is there is a glow plug ,or some might call ignitor. When it get a signal to ignite gas that glow plug gets hot and ignites gas. and that does goes Bad .

Molly,
"Auto Clean" means that the control thinks the door is locked. If you can open the door, it's obviously not locked. You can try turning the power off at the breaker. Leave it off for 20 minutes or so. See if this resets the control. If not, the high temps in "auto clean" may have fried one of the monitor switches on the door latch.
Let us know what happens.
