The secret repair guide with schematics was with ours hidden in a slot behind the front panel with all the knobs. Our was their until the mid 1980's; when a jerk repair guy walked off with it. I visted my folks old house and found out that it was missing, the last repair guy walked off with it.
In this area the stove style and even color are considered old hat; thus units are hauled to the dump with a kitchen upgrade. The bizzare thing is the replacement range has no real vented "vent"; something I really like and would never ever not be without.!
The clock on mine died back in the 1980's and my dad got a new GE one for 68 bucks it lasted about 10 years and died, others I have seen are broken too. The unit here went 2 feet under salt water in Katrina and messed up the lower oven's relay; thus the lower oven is dead until I rig up a come along to pull the beast out!
The microwave part of the lower oven died in the 1980's; more due to lack of anybody who had an knowledge than really parts. One had to have a service guy from New Orleans; no locals had seen one before.
The supermatic burner here is used each day; but has its moments where sometimes it runs low.
I think the part numbers are WB21X5207 for the stove sensor for 225 BUCKS; ebay 100 to 190 bucks! and
WB21X182 RESPONDER for the variable control under the temp dial rare part
