Kenmore Elite Gas Range: Oven Burner acting erratically

Replaced the Oven Igniter about 6 weeks ago and appeared to work properly up to about 2 weeks ago. Attempted to bake some bread and set to Pre-heat, 425. Oven never came up to temp. Next day, going straight to Bake and 300, observed the Oven Burner emitting a flame pattern of only about 3/16", very blue. but it came up to the set Temp of 300, cycled off. Off for about 45 seconds and then lit again. This time, flame was coming from RH side (looking to rear of oven) of tube only, still very short in length. I've re-checked the Igniter, putting out 3.8 Amps and Safety Valve is showing Continuity at both Broil (it's working beautifully with about 1" flame, blue with few yellow tips) and Oven leads. I'm on Liquid Propane. All top burners are working perfectly, as is the Broiler. Being a Dual Valve, is it possible that just the Oven side of the Safety Valve is malfunctioning? My wife says "Trash It." I'm for trying to save it if possible. Thanks for anyone's response who might shed some light (pun intended) on my issue.
