Here are your parts
Replacement parts for General Electric RB790SH1SA Electric range | AppliancePartsPros.com

Unplug the unit.
Undo the screws that hold the element to the ovens back wall.
Gently pull the element forward. Note you do not want to pull the wires off the element.
Remove the wires from the element and then check the element with a meter, should be around 10 ohms. If open (infinite ohms) replace the element.
It is a good idea to clip something (clothes pin etc.) onto the wires so they cannot disappear into the back of the unit.

Here is a good site with additional help.

If the element check's good, you would have to replace the clock control board. Tom ApplianceEducator.com
