I had a similar clock break. Is it the High-Low range witlh all the
controls up top to the right of the small oven. I had to remove the chrome
trim, then the glass faceplate, then I could get at the controls.

The buzzing is made by a bent piece of metal that acts like a spring and a
hammer. A coil next to it causes it to vibrate and clatter on two adjascent
stoppers. In my case the little lever that prevents it from buzzing broke
and it buzzed all the time (I shoved a piece of wood in there to shut it up
perminantly). In your case it may either be jammed (in which you might be
able to free it) or it may have broken off (in which case it is
unrepairable).

I would abandon the clock and buy a $5 electronic timer. If you think you
may be too far to hear it, carry it with you. I assume you don't like these
because most of them stop beeping after a minute or so. Sometimes I use the
timer on my microwave oven. It beeps for a few seconds at first but then
chirps every 15 seconds or so until it is cleared.

Now the descision is between modifying your habits or spending lots of
money.

Useful information. Thanks.

The model is a GE (something like) JPM22-02 (tough to read). The only
clocks for it I find on parts sites are roughly $95 for a digital and
$135 for an analog. Crazy!

Yeah, the $5 kitchen timer sounds like the route I'll be going!
