We have a GE flat topped electric stove (white with black top) and bought it 11/17 last year. It is just past its year warranty by several days. The model number is JBS55WOK4WW. We had been smelling something in the back of the stove like wires smelling funny off and on the last few months. We eat out alot and have not used our stove much and so when we were cooking thanksgiving meal and had the stove and oven going, the stove just quit on us halfway through when cooking. The lights/clock do not display. There is electricty coming to the stove but the only way to get the lights and display to turn on is to turn one of the stove knobs; otherwise the panel board is totally dark and doesnt display anything. When we turn one of the stove knobs all of the lights on the display light up. However, the stove wont heat up every time we turn on the stove knob to boil or cook something on top of the stove. We cant get the oven to work either unless we turn the stove knob on first and then it lights up the panel board and then we can press the oven button but the oven doesnt heat up. We are worried what is causing this and how much it could take to repair it. Thank you for any help you can give us.
It sounds like it burnt one of your main wires in the back of range. by turning a knob on you are getting a feed back. turn the power off remove back panel take a visual check of your wiring.

When replacing a knob on our frigidaire glass top stove, my husband unscrewed the control panel to insert the new knob. When he reassembled it, the control panel is all lit up, but the touch controls don't work. The oven light is on, but the controls nor oven work. Stove top works fine.
