My old (1988) hotpoint self-cleaning range has a problem with it's digital
control I think. If I set the oven temp, the oven will start then the whole
control panel will show 0:00 with nothing else working, then it will switch
to the correct time but the oven temp will be at 0. Through the day when not
in use it will show clock then nothing but the zeros. Burners work fine,
broiler seems to work fine but it looks like either the oven element or the
digital control is gone.
1. Once before when the oven element went, the digital control went nuts.
Just before Xmas I replaced the same element again since it blew once when I
turned the oven on.
2. There is no error code showing.
3. I cleaned the oven a couple of weeks ago and the clock screwed up
somewhat. I would peg this as when the trouble started.

Any ideas? It maintains temp really well so I doubt that it's the sensor. If
it's the control module, I remember it being something like 400 bucks which
I won't spring for.
Is the circuitry so sensitive that even with nothing turned on, the control
unit will sense something is not quite kosher and reset to zero then act
normal for a while then reset?
Thanks in advance for any tips.
