Some of you overthink things. IF it was a sensor/thermocoupler, WHY would it light the main burner first time and then fail to keep oven at temp the 2nd or 3rd time????????????????? BECAUSE the Tstat is at fault. Doug(been here and done that numerous times)
In my case the Tstat was calling for heat but the gas valve wasn't giving it up. It started at random and then quit completely. I took it apart and cleaned it per advice I found in the interwebs but it would not function.
The OP's issue might be as simple as a Tstat, but downstream from the Tstat a gas valve has to open. If it doesn't...no heat.
