I replaced the oven sensor hoping that would solve the problem but it is still doing this. The Broil element goes on and off, as per the accubake, the bake element glows during preheat but does not come on after that. So the main source of heat for the oven is the broil element. What can I check, what part do I need. I am becoming very frustrated with the whole thing. Thank you in advance Sandy

Sorry but I find your post a little confusing you say "oven that will not get up to temperature" but then say "the bake element glows during preheat but does not come on after that" which sort of indicates that it does come out of preheat and therefore is reaching set point temperature. There also seems to be a discrepancy in the manual where it talks about 2 sensors but the wiring diagram and parts only show one. This may just be because the manual is talking about another unit that is covered by it. When the element do come on do they get a fairly consistent red in color? Could be one of them is shorting through it's foot to the frame. If the elements look OK then I would say that the control board is the cause of your problems.

When you turn the oven on, the bake element glows for a period of time then goes off and never comes on again. I have checked the temperature at the time the preheat cycle is over and the temperature in the oven is 250 degrees, not 350. After that, it seems the heat is maintained by the broil element only. I have to turn it up to 500 degrees to get near 350. I have looked on the internet and have seen the control board mentioned but can't seem to find it on the schematic drawings. Do you know the part #? Sandy
