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?

Most likely the problem is a bad control board (aka a clock). Unfortunately this part has been discontinued by the manufacturer and is no longer available.

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?
