Patrick,
I think you've hit the nail on the head - and, yes - Whirlpool's quality is all over the place right now.
But - they're products have been good to you, their gas range design is indisputably good - maybe you should just buy a replacement for the main board and put it away (in dry, static-electricity protected wrapping) and accept that there'll be more maintenance on this than might be ideal - sort of like owning a British car from the 1990s. Great to drive, wonderful to ride in - but the next breakdown is not a question of 'if', just 'when'.
