Power must be reaching the stove for the lights to work so it would seem something has gone wrong inside the stove. Only exposing the internal connections and testing the circuits will trace the fault.

Check to make sure you have 240v at your receptacle. Lights, clock, timer, will still work with 120v, while the elements need 240v. Start by checking your breakers to make sure that one of the two breakers feeding your oven hasn't tripped.

bad clock or ecu

This is a very serious hazard if the circuit breaker trips just when the oven begins to heat up. The circuit breaker could have become weakened and needs to be replaced ASAP. Have an electrician check and replace.

The oven could have been placed on too small a circuit breaker OR the total number of appliances on that line has pushed the circuit breaker over it's limit. The Oven draws a huge current and may be the straw that broke the camels back.

Check to see what other appliances are shut down when the breaker trips. See if you can place some or all of these on another line.
Leaving the Oven on the one circuit breaker. This will hopefully prevent the overload situation that is occurring now.

If it still trips... get an electrician in there fast!

Question edited for clarity. The bake element failed? Test for continuity. If it has a fan, test that too. If it is electronic, check the thermistor temperature sensor. For suspected control panels or mainboards, I always suggest dealer service so you get the correct diagnosis and warranty on the parts and the job. They are also expensive. ..

Most modern appliances like cookers and washing machines have the control panels and displays are fitted from behind the front panel, inside the machine. You will be better off getting a professional repairer to do it for you. *Remember* this is a Gas appliance that you're working on so BE CAREFUL. You might have to remove several other panels to get to the touch pad so if your going to do it yourself turn OFF the main gas supply first then make notes and take photos as you go.

If your GE stove is beeping and displaying the message "bad line," it typically indicates an issue with the electrical power supply. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve the problem:

1. Check the Power Supply: Ensure that the stove is properly plugged into a functioning power outlet. Verify that there is no issue with the circuit breaker or fuse that supplies power to the stove. You may need to reset the circuit breaker or replace a blown fuse if necessary.
2. Inspect the Power Cord: Examine the power cord for any signs of damage, such as cuts, fraying, or exposed wires. If you notice any issues, it's advisable to replace the power cord with a new one to ensure safe and reliable operation.
3. Test the Outlet: If possible, try plugging the stove into a different power outlet to see if the "bad line" message persists. This step helps determine if the issue lies with the stove or the electrical supply in your home.
4. Contact a Professional: If the problem persists or if you are unsure about performing further troubleshooting steps, it's recommended to contact a qualified appliance repair technician. They can diagnose the specific issue with your GE stove and provide the necessary repairs or replacements.
