Call a competent electronics repair person. The guy I brought a bunch of old stereo projects to repair always had several appliance controller cards in his laundry list of things to repair.

Here's the thing....I have no sentimental attachment to the stove. It's an appliance, and it's not worth dropping a couple hundred on a stove that's probably not worth $ 100, if Craigslist is any indication.
I saw a two year old Whirlpool stove with an older over the counter microwave for $ 225, for example. I thought about buying it. My housekeeper doesn't clean the inside of the oven, so just starting out with a clean oven would almost have been worth it.
Last year, I had a similar problem with my above the range microwave.....the keypad was failing, and no new part was available. I found a used part for $ 75, but ended up buying a year old microwave that was better optioned than the one I started with for $ 45, but had to use wall anchors for the new mounting hardware, which I could have avoided if I had just replaced the keypad.
