Have JKP44GP double electric oven. Few months ago lower oven would not stay on-can set oven to bake, stays on for 1 minute then turns off. Today the upper oven is doing the same. Severe thunderstorm last night but no power outage. Oven is 17 years old but barley used (few times a year)

power surges can short out the electonics in appliances. If you can locate where the tech sheet is and I would say its behind the control panel on top, look at the wiring diagram and see if there are any replaceable fuse's. Or a resetable fuse for the heating element. If not check to see if power is getting to the main control bord. If there is power there you may need to replace the control.

Thermador SCD302 upper oven preheat does not work; the heat temperature goes up very slow.

The control switch may be bad on it. If there are 2 elements on the top, they both are not bad at the same time.Check to see if the wires have not burned off the control switch first. Check to see if your breakers are O.K. Turn them both(maybe 3) off and then reset.
