shrimp disaster

Still trying to fix the oven after a flood event caused by about a gallon or more of boiling hot shrimp water being spilled all over the range. The stove still works but the spill caused everything else to black out.

So far I have replaced:

The master control board
The display panel
Oven thermostat

Just replacing the master control board did nothing. But, once I also replaced the display panel the oven came back to life and started "trying" to work.

Here's what I mean by trying: Now when I select BAKE at 350 and click START, the fan comes on and about one out of 3 times the gas will actually ignite. However, when the gas does ignite, it only stays lit for 5-15 seconds. That's why I changed out the thermostat (which had no effect). Seems like the gas just turns itself off before the oven ever begins to warm up. Oven door open vs closed doesn't seem to matter, it's just quitting on me.

There must be an electronic part or parts somewhere between the control board and the oven that still needs replacing. Something that would have been flooded by the water or shorted out during that catastrophic event.

If it helps to know, the BROIL function seems to be totally inoperable right now. Looks like it has both gas and electric hoop hardware up there but none of that is doing anything when you tell it to broil.

HELP!!!

Thanks - Dan
