Kenmore Electric Range Model 790.9542 3301, about 8 years old.

The panel with clock display and buttons stopped working. Since it controls the oven, the oven isn't working either. The dials to control the glasstop burners still work and the burners all get hot right away, as normal.

Does the clock/timer $182 part replace all the button controls for the oven as well as the clock? Is this a logical fix to my problem? Is it worth it to fix an 8 year old range for almost $200?

I can check the connections with a Voltage/continuity tester, but I don't know where to test and I haven't taken it apart yet. I know how to check outlets, but that's about it!

Also, how do I tell what wattage my glasstop burners are? A new range had 1,500 and 3,000 watt burners for the single and dual elements, but I have no idea if that's the same or way better than my model.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Here are your parts
Replacement parts for Kenmore 79095423301 | AppliancePartsPros.com

Here is a wiring diagram
http://manuals.frigidaire.com/p...pringfield/316255311.pdf

Do the element indicators and the oven light work?
They run off of 120 volts as does the control board.
If they do not work try flipping the breaker off/on slowl a couple times.
If that does nothing check the power with a meter, you may have lost Neutral so the unit is not getting 120 volts.

Here is the control board/timer, it does replace the buttons.
Click on the picture for more info.
Part number: AP3561834
Part number: AP3561834


By the look of it the elements are:
9 inch - LK = 2500W
6 inch - LR & RR = 1200W
6/9 inch duo - Dual RF = 1000/2500W

Ok, I tested my power cord on the range. It's a four prong plug like this one:

When I touch any two prongs, they all give a "beep" on my continuity tester, except for the left prong in the picture. Touching this left prong and any other prong and there's no beep. Does this mean my power cord is fried?

No

Remove the small cover at the back of the unit so you can get to the terminal strip.
Now measure from the plug prongs to the terminal connectors.
The round connector (earth ground) should have continuity to the units frame.
The lower flat connector (Neutral) should have continuity to white (usually the center connector on the terminal strip.
The 2 side connectors (L1 and L2) should have continuity to either red or black (usually outer connectors on the terminal strip.

In your case the important one is the Neutral, see the following.

You did not say if the lights work. If they do then the unit is getting 120 volts.
