Ok, last night, the oven just started turning itself off. I set it to 425, and it got to about 300, and would just turn off.
I could sit there and turn it back on, and it would stay on for about 2 minutes, and then it would turn off again. I was thinking that this was shutting off at a certain temp (thus maybe the sensor?), but this morning, I tried to turn it on and it wouldn't even turn on to bake. The top units work just fine.
I was thinking this is either a sensor (the 4 inch thingy inside the oven), or the main control clock panel. The fact that it turns off, leads me to believe that it is not the sensor. Correct me if I am wrong, but the sensor just senses the temperature, and tells the unit when the temp is at a certain level. The sensor does not tell the unit to turn off.
So, is it the clock control panel? If it is, is this something that is easily replaced? I read somewhere that you need an ohmmeter and some detailed knowledge of these things or you could fry the board.
HELP! THANKS!

More info - Now, when I go to turn it on, nothing happens. It just blinks at me a couple of times, and goes back to the current time. Does not even click like it used to do when it is turning on.
Any ideas?

I have found a guy on ******** who says he can fix the control board. Is this even possible?
I hate that this has been discontinued. A new range is definitely not in the budget at the moment, and I would love to keep this one for a few more years.
At the same time, I don't want to spend 150 - 200 on a fix for a unit that is probably 10+ years old, when I could spend that money towards a new one.
Any thoughts as to fixing a control board?
