clock on gas range Ace 09-04-2008

We have a Tappan gas range with self cleaning oven which works on a timed
cycle. Having a wall clock, a clock on the
microwave, clock on the coffee pot, and wrist watches, we don't pay a lot of
attention to the stove clock.

Getting to the point, we notice it's not running. I've opened it up twice,
first dousing the works with acetone trying to clean
it. Last was liberally dousing it with lighter fluid. Still only runs for
a few hours, then quits.

The oven now could stand a cleaning, and we fear it might get stuck in
middle of clean cycle and leave us with a locked
oven door.

Anyone have some ideas? For example, is the clock replaceable? And where
we might the replacement? Or, everything
being geared together on the back side, is the clock the actual problem?

Is there a replacement for the entire apparatus?

The stove is about 17 years old, and we're not anxious to replace it at this
time.

Thanks in advance,
Ace

disconnect the clock, but check first if a replacement is available.

I replaced the clock on a 20 year old GE; shouldn't be all that different.
It should come out easily; then just take it to an appliance parts shop.
Trying to identify the part on line is possible, but not fun.

Just turn it on to the cleaning cycle manually. Turn it of after a few
hours. My timer stopped years ago and that is what we did. Finally bought a
new range when the oven quit at 21 years. Bought a Bertazzoni and love it.
Cooks so much better, especially the convection oven.
