our stove is a gas range on propain.....electronic OVEN card with clock....
the burners are manual......
I have a used appliance store basically next door......and since I was in the appliance trade decades ago, I have some basic knowledge of WTF is going on today.....
ONE thing, I SUSPECT the vast majority of card/controller failure is due to a bad capacitor....one of them little black and silver cylinders scattered over the board.....maybe yawl can find the remains of one find the values of the part, and replace it......
