I have a similar problem... the stove top seems to be working fine. The digital clock is working... When I touch the Bake or Broil buttons, the Lock light turns on. I can not adjust the temp of the oven for preheat. Any ideas?

Have you checked the manual to ensure it's not some feature? Ie: not's not hard programmed to preheat to a certain value? If this isn't the case, it sounds like you have a malfunctioning controller board.

Check to see if the oven heating element or its plug/socket has gone bad?

Thank you, I will use this to explain to the homoaners hub people their impact on the gerbil population. It's a heart breaking story because of the posting source. This service should come to the notice of the entertainment industry.
