Backstory: 10 year old oven control panel stopped responding to the “up/down” buttons on the control panel. Kind-of a drag, because the timer, oven temperature, clock etc all need the up/down buttons be useful. We baked things at 350F for a week, and then my 12yo son told me that we should fix it.

The control panel circuit board was behind two screws and a piece of sheet metal on the back of the stove. One of the plastic fingers that pushes the button switches on the circuit board had broken. 5-minute epoxy seemed to be a good enough fix.

We applied epoxy to the board with a pencil
