Jenn-Air range oven/broil elements not working

Oven Repair (including Ranges and Cooktops)
,
1

I have a Jenn-Air SCE30600B slide-in electric range w/glass cooktop. The baking and broil element are not coming on. The lights on the clock/control
panel dimmed out some time ago, but the cooking function still worked and
could be controlled by the touch pad. Just lately, the elements will not come on. When I set the bake for 350 I hear a fan come on, and a somewhat high pitched whine( which is uncharacteristic) but the element does not get hot. Is this totally related to the electronic clock control assembly(which I know how to take out and put in, or the other control board which pertains to the baking and broiling relay circuit. The clock control is about $160 and the other control board is around $240. And how do you access the bake/broil control board? I am assuming you have to pull the entire oven out of the cabinet.
By the way, the cooktop functions work fine.

The control board (aka a clock/timer) is definitely bad due to at least a dim display. There is a small chance for the relay board to be bad as well. Unfortunately there is not much things made easy and the access to the relay board is from the back of the range. Hopefully the new clock will solve the problem.

Here is the [B]Service manual[/B].

Gene,

Thanks for your reply, I truly appreciate the pdf of the service manual. Is
there a way I can eliminate the relay control board as the culprit? Can I
open the front panel and remove the 2 connections from the clock panel
that go to the relay board and then touch pad in for the bake function
and/or the broil function and then test the contact points on those
connectors to see if there is voltage going through them? If there is,
does that mean the relay board is bad, or if there is no voltage going
through, just the clock board is bad? Or is there a certain amount of
voltage that has to be there? Sorry for all the questions, but I’m hoping
I can minimize my expense.

Like,

I believe the first thing what has to be done before you can proceed with the further diagnosis is to replace the clock. Because of a dimm display you can not see any error codes which can help with proper diagnosis.

Due to possible high cost of repair you have to decide first how far you want to go.
