I have a Sharp Combi Microwave oven (R-959MA) which has always given
good service. However, recently when using it on Convection only, as a
normal oven, I felt the food was under-cooked. On checking with an oven
thermometer I discovered that when it was set to 200c the oven
thermometer only registered 143c and crept very slowly up to 150C
eventually.! Is this normal?

Regards and thanks in advance

Corse not. Likely the thermostat is stuffed.

What happens if you set it to 250C ?

Or some rely on both the oven element and the grill element to reach
temperature. Has one of the elements failed?
