This sounds like safety cutout. It might be overheating. Make sure nothing is obstructing airflow around the range.
Testimonial: "Thanks so much? I'll look into this."
I meant to say "Thanks so much! I'll look into this."
Our oven has done this even when we're cooking things at a low temperature, like 300 degrees. Would the safety cutoff and airflow still be an issue at low temps? Also, does the safety cutoff turn off the whole oven (including it's electrical connection). I thought it would just turn off the gas and then show an error code, so the clock wouldn't reset as if the power had been cut to the oven.

First look to see if the ignitor is coming on. Most common problem is the ignitor is weak or just bad. When the power is applied to the ignitor it glows and builds up resistance to open the gas valve then it lights. If the ignitor is weak or bad it will not build up enough resistance for gas to come into the burner. One sign of this would be a "woosh" sound when it trys to light. If the ignitor is coming on but not lighting it is most likely the ignitor is bad. Should have a full glow. Also, if the ignitor looks whiteish in color this is a sign of it going bad. You can compare to the broil ignitor to be sure. If the ignitor doesn't come on at all will need to see if you have power to the ignitor. Let me know what you find and let's solve it before you rate the solution.

its possible your gas regulator is bad or the gas line to the ignitor is stopped up look at the line and see if some type of food has blocked the outlet

bad oven ignitor is the most common cause of bake failure, located onthe side of hte burner bar itself, if youd like with a multi-meter, you can check the wires leading to the ignitor for 110v. if you have power and nothing was glowing from ignitor theres your problem
