Having to hold the button for a long time after it's been sitting is often just air in the LP line. Light a stove burner first to purge it. If it's still slow, the thermocouple is the likely culprit, since it holds the gas valve open and a weak one takes a long time to heat up. That also explains the flame going out and the igniter clicking without relighting: the valve has closed, and it can't reopen until you press the button. We'd check the thermocouple before the board. Both the N145 thermocouple (631753) and the 631562 board are discontinued now, so email info@rvfridgeguys.com and we'll help you look for options.
