hotpoint gas cooker

i have got a hotpoint 61dgw gas cooker but the lower oven does not stay lit.
i have tested the thermocouple at ambient temp it is reading 0.5ohms and when heated up drops to minus 69ohms,similar readings were observed from the other 2 thermocouples so i am reasonably confident they are all ok.
i am suspecting the the gas control valve is at fault but is there any way to test it?

    Is this some new electrical theory. I am having trouble getting my head round the concept of minus 69ohms.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.
