No need to overthink this thing, son. The furst step's to buy an accurate
oven thermometer.

I did that before I posted. And I moved it to the centre of the oven because
I figure that if the self-clean function cant clean the door (which it
can't), the temp at the front might not be all that representative.

The prices for this thing are all over the place, from $115 to nigh on
$200!

You can get them rebuilt for between $153 and $200, which kinda makes ya
think a bit.

Then I found someone who offers to rebuild them to cure various symptoms for
$99 but none of the symptoms he cures are temp related?? I emailed him and
he said to check the thermostat is working properly before I send mine to
him. (it is new but that might not PROVE anything.

As I said up-thread, you need to understand *what* your controller is doing
before you can decide what the problem and likely cure might be.

E.g., car has dead battery. Is it alternator? voltage regulator?
corroded cable? high resistance connection? "persistent" load?
shorted plates?

The remedies for each are very different (even if they may all require you
to purchase a new battery!)

Checking the circuit path, wiring, between the sensor and the controller
would seem a good place to start. Possible there is a loose connection, etc.
