Default Dacor W305 Wall Oven not holding Temp

I am totally disturbed with this
product. I have had it for about 15
years and it has been nothing but
trouble. I know, I should get just rid
of it, however, as I will be moving in a
year or so and the unit still looks
good, I don't want to do that. This
unit is pure crap. It has never held
the set temperature. I have had Dacor
service work on it and even had a new
controller installed a few years ago.
Dacor provided the controller, but
required me to pay an "authorized"

guy to intall it even though I could
have easily done the install myself.
This helped, but now it is now off in
temperature and is swinging way too wide
in temperature once again. The Easter
ham took 3 hours to essentially warm up
to 130 degrees, internal temperature!
Today, doing some tests with a
thermocouple, I determined it was off by
about 30 degrees (low) and was swinging
about 40 degrees from the high to low
points. Is there anyone familiar with
this model out there? Am I the only one
with a lemon? I feel really stupid
about buying this unit. When I was
doing the re-kitchen, it was the only
30" wall oven; others were only 27". It
was a "microprocessor" controlled
electric oven ..... that should make it
very acurate, right? .... boy was I wrong.
