This is a "feature" imposed upon us by those energy-saving freaks and environmentalist-wackos. What you need to do is press and hold the clock button for 12 to 15 seconds. When you first press this button, the display will appear. Then in about 7 or 8 seconds it will disappear. Keep holding it for 12 to 15 seconds until it re-appears. Now if you release the clock button, it should remain on.

Okay...if the clock assembly appears to be working and the oven light comes on, but nothing else is working, I would double check your input power at the receptacle. You will need to unplug the range and check voltages at L1 to neutral and L2 to neutral. There should be 120VAC on each leg. It sounds like you are missing 120VAC on one side of the receptacle. I believe the clock and oven light will still come on, because they only utilize a portion of the input voltage. The elements, however, require 220VAC. Another way of checking for input voltage is to pull the range out so you can access behind it. Unplug the range and remove the back cover so you can see the terminal board where the power cord is connected. There should be three wires from left to right (BLACK, WHITE, RED). BLACK is L1, RED is L2. There will be 120VAC on each one of these lines when you plug the power back into the receptacle. If you place a meter from L1(BLACK) to NEUTRAL (WHITE), you should have 120VAC. The same is true when you place a meter across L2 (RED) and NEUTRAL (WHITE). If you connect the meter across L1 (BLACK) to L2 (RED) you should have your full 220VAC. If either leg (L1 or L2) is missing, the range elements will not work. If you check in this manner, you not only will be able to confirm whether or not you have proper input power, but you will also be determining whether or not the power cord is good. This may be a simple matter of a loose terminal in the back of the range, or...I have seen where consumers have wired them incorrectly. Check for the following in this order:
1. Double check you breaker to make sure it is not tripped (I know you said you already checked it).
2. Unplug range and check for proper voltage at the receptacle.
3. Remove back cover of range and verify correct wiring of the power cord.
4. With range unplugged, ensure all terminal lugs are properly tightened.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to tighten the terminal lugs with the power cord plugged in. Also, do not attempt to service the receptacle (repair or replace) with the power turned on at the breaker. Votages dangerous to life exists. I hope this information is helpful to you. If you have any questions or concerns, please post back with your comments.
SOURCE: i have a 4 yr old kenmore glasstop electric range.
this is normal
about 8 years ago manufactures started to include the broil element in the preheat cycle to heat the oven faster
it should cycle down once the set temp is reached

Hi This means a
loose/broken wire on the oven temp sensor or the oven temp. sensor itself is
bad and should be replaced. To solve this issue test the oven temp. sensor, it
should read between 1080-1120 ohms, if the rating is more then that and the
door appears to be closing fine then it is the control board that is bad and
should be replaced. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.
