The Oven heats up but only to 150 degrees. The clock goes on and off when turning the oven on and off. I check power and everything is still getting power. Volts at least. Not sure about amperage. Not sure if I should just replace all the burners switches and both the oven switch and thermostat or not. Looks like when the burner was shorting it could have zapped pretty much everything. Not sure. Are there any electrical schematics avialable anywhere? Any advice would be helpful thank you Bri

Make sure there is 240VAC to the range. Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for General Electric JCS57Y1WW Electric range \| AppliancePartsPros.com Post the results. Simon.
