Is it an electronic unit or piloted unit

If it takes more than 2 minutes to light then that ignitor is weak. It should be very bright. It has to draw 3.5 amps to open the valve. The valve is good because the ignitor is working the oven control is good, all it can be is a weak ignitor. It should draw 3.5 amps or have measure 37 ohms.

Electric gas igniters sometimes get stuck in one position causing a clicking sound. The clicking sound that you hear is the electric arc that is pulsing from the igniter conductor (wire) to ground (the gas burner). It receives power from the electrical outlet that the stove is plugged into.
Residue from food and sometimes cleaning products may be preventing the igniter from producing a spark (Arc) to the base of the burner. This is a common problem that occurs when the stove has been cleaned or food is allowed to build up. Make sure that the igniter and the burner base are clean and dry. This will help with proper operation. Oven cleaner and a small tooth brush may be used to accomplish this. Another problem with ignition may occur if you have too little (touching) or too much space between the igniter and the base of the burner; it will prevent the burner from igniting. You should only have a little more space than the thickness of a nickel between the burner base and the igniter. A good “blue” arc from the igniter to the burner base is optimal. If this doesn’t work, you may need to replace the electric igniter module. Good luck.
SOURCE: burners work fine, pilot light
Make sure the thermocoupler is being heated by the pilot light flame. It could also be gunked up but you can clean it with a scouring pad, or it might need to be replaced. The thermocoupler is the most likely cause because if it isn't heated then the gas valve will not open up and no gas will flow to the burner. Since your pilot light is on then you do have gas to the valve.
SOURCE: oven won't light
REMOVE BACK PANEL AND CHECK THERMAL COUPLING ,LONG THIN TUBE BRASS OR COPPER,SHOULD BE PILOT LIGHT ON CLOSE TO COUPLING,IF NO LIGHT, MAY HAVE TO CALL GAS COMPANY, THEY POSSIBLY WILL LIGHT IT FOR YOU,MUST BE QUALIFIED TO DO THIS ,LIABILTY PURPASES...
SOURCE: KitchenAid Electric Range KERS807 Oven won't do anything, flashes S3E3 code
Do you mean an F3-E3 code? I've never seen a KitchenAid S3 code.
The F3 code means that the oven temperature sensor is bad. The E3 indicates that the sensor indicated an excessively high temp during the clean cycle.
Please determine the full model number of your range to ensure that you get the correct sensor. The sensor costs between $75-80, depending on the vendor. I used the KERS807SSS02 for a guide. www.searspartsdirect.com and http://www.appliancepartspros.com both have the sensor in stock.
If the range is still under warranty, contact KitchenAid for the repair.
I hope this helps.
