gas oven turns self on!
My grandpa's Kenmore gas range (model# 36275581890) turns the oven on randomly. We can turn the knob back between clean and broil and it seems to stay off. Would it maybe be the controls up above? The top burners work fine. My grandpa has only used his oven once or twice. I think it is only a few years old. The temp display is digital so are all the controls part of the display. The part is over 200 dollars so I would really like to test it first. Any help is greatly appreciated.

help
I grew up fixing everthing and I'm nervous about telling my grandpa to buy the part. I found a better deal for 150 dollars but that is still a lot of money. He wants to know if he should buy a new stove ($500). I'm going to take his stove apart and look at the wiring diagram. Then we'll see if I can understand it and test the electronic control with my multi tester. This is what I need help with.

Hi,
Yes, this is very unusual, but i would say it would be in the control board assembly.
I found the part for about $91 here:

Yes, that should be the correct part.
Here is another place to buy it, with a photo:
