The thermometer has to be placed in the middle of the oven cavity. Set the thermostat for 350 degrees and do not open the oven door for at least 15 minutes after the oven indicator light will go off. Let me know the thermometer reading. Gene.

In such case the oven thermostat has to be replaced. - The part number for the oven thermostat AP3559535 Gene.
