Ok, while making this test the burner came on but the flame was weak then there was a click from the bottom of the oven and the flame became full. I turned it off then on again and had to wait another 30 sec. or so but it lit to a full flame. Oh yeah theres a slight whistling sound just as the burner comes on. So maybe a bad oven safety valve? How do you check it?

If your answer is "yes" then the problem is a bad pressure regulator. If "no" then most likely the problem is a bad gas safety valve (#10 on the oven burner parts break down diagram). - The part number for the new gas safety valve AP3119546 - Here are the break down diagrams for the Whirlpool range Model SF310PEYN0 Good luck. Gene.
