They remain somewhere above 300 degrees. Is this a infinite switch problem? Are there wiring diagrams for this model and how do you troubleshoot the switches.

It is possible the switches are not the correct ones. If you purchased the unit used who knows it may have been worked on by someone that used the wrong parts.
