Good question on how is the heat getting there. I back-tracked on my google searches and found that Jenn-Air makes ovens with digital controls on the front top of the oven box - right above the oven vent - and these are the ones that suffer the heat damage. I found what looks to be heat marks on mine but now believe it was a boil over mess that came from the rear stove top burner as I see where liquid was dripping - this is all back inside the panel where the board is.

Good info. The front control panel stayed on for 20 hours this last time. I moved the blue resistor up just now as it was bent down a bit and the panel stopped working. No tap with screwdriver. Tapped yellow thingie and it started working again but only for ten minutes.
I think there is a chance this can be brought back to life.. Going to take board off and check joints.
Will advise on progress. Thanks much.
