OK folks . . . you are my last stop before I actually break down and call an actual appliance tech . . .
The background: As some of you know I am working on renovating my kitchen. About two weeks ago I was pulling out the oven and had unscrewed the electrical outlet . . . however, the folks who had wired the house apparently didn't always do a stand up job as pulling the oven out (while it was plugged in still) caused a short -- as witnessed by the pop and light show and tripped circuit breaker. I didn't think too much of this at the time.
Later that day . . . or maybe it was the next day . . . the stove began beeping intermittently -- but other than the beeping it wasn't turning itself on or running a timer. I unplugged it, waited, plugged it back in and everthing seemed golden.
A day or so later I went to use the oven and for some reason I could only use some of the touchpad inputs . . . I kept trying to input 375 degrees for the oven and the touchpad wouldn't allow me to enter the 7 or 5 . . . or it wouldn't allow me to enter the numbers, but would default to either 170 degrees or 350 degrees.
The next day I went to use the oven and the touchpad worked fine with zero issues.
Another day or two passed and the original problem was back with limited input.
A day or two ago I used the oven with no issues.
And then the other day I could not input anything into the touchpad.
Followed most recently with me being able to only input a few numbers.

I've done quite a few internet searches, but am perplexed . . . I've seen some folks report getting a code . . . but I have yet to see any code. I am thinking it could be the control board . . . but honestly when it comes to appliances I am not the smartest guy in the world . . . heck, when it comes to many things I am not the smartest guy in the world. Any suggestions? I would hate to buy the circuit board and either find out it is the wrong type or the wrong part to replace since these can be pretty expensive.
The stove is a Kenmore Elite gas double oven range. Model Number: 66578002803.
