** Then I replaced the panel. **
What "panel" are you referring to??
** I was able to start the oven and then within 15 seconds it stared beeping again. I don't know if this is much help. **
I'm afraid not.
** I don't know if I should have a repair person look at it **
I'm pretty sure they will not be able to do much for you until the control is replaced so they can read any error message it is suppose to be displaying. So it will likely be; come to the house and say you need the control. Order and then replace the control when it comes in. Look at the error message to see what else (if anything) needs looking into.
** the panel @$170 **
It was quite a bit less than that at the link I provided previously.
** really don't need someone who would be motivated in selling me a new oven **
If you don't call a repair company that also sells appliances, it is much less likely they will suggest replacing it if they don't actually believe it is in your best interest. BTW. The link below has something about your concern:
- Repairmen or Appliance Salesmen?

But of course if you ask for a final repair estimate even before they can tell for sure what all the problems might be, being unable to give you that answer they might suggest you just go buy a new one.
