A few years ago, the clock on my stove stopped working. I could have gotten by without it, I think, by using a kitchen timer. It was just a simple LED clock, it didn't have any connection to turn the oven on and off. However, I had gotten spoiled to having that clock in my kitchen. The best part was that it could be seen in the dark, and it was the only clock in that part of the house that could be seen at night.
Changing the electronics on your kitchen appliances is not as hard as you might think. I was nervous about it at first, but I wanted to see if it was simple to repair, as we didn't want to pay for a service call for something that didn't affect the function of the stove. I was able to remove the old clock by lifting the lid and removing a couple of screws. To find a new clock, I visited RepairClinic.com. They have a very nice search function on their website that helps you find the parts you need, including pictures of each part so that you can make sure it matches.
When I received the part in the mail a few days later, it was easy to install. It just had a little plastic plug, I did not have to rewire anything.
I don't know how much a service call costs these days, but I am sure I saved about $75 dollars by doing the job myself.
