Recently, we had a problem with our 4 year old Amana electric coil range. Without an explanation, the digital clock suddenly disappeared, the temperature setting canged to celsius and the range would not bake correctly afterwards. Although we had luck in turning the on board clock back on and changing the temperature setting from celsius back to Fahrenheit like it was in the beginning, we could not get the bottom heating element in the range to work at all. We replaced the bottom element in the stove assuming it had gone out, but this did not solve the problem. Now we are stuck with two good heating elements (have checked both with a multimeter,) we can't afford a service call and are at a loss as to what to do.
The clock most likely has bad capacitors which cause the dipay to go out. That's what mine did. The solution was replacing three small capactors on the clock circuit board. The capacitors are worth $1.50.
I did it myself, but I have twenty years of consumer elctronics repair experience. If you can get the clock out, take it to a friendly repairman who can replace the capacitors. A place in Texas charges $100 for rebuilt clocks.
You have to replace the clock. That will definately fix your problem.
