Dometic Oven Not Hot Enough
We have a 2018 Coachman Leprechaun Class C that came with a Dometic 3 burner range with built in oven. Even when turned up to the maximum temperature the oven doesn't get over 250 degrees when measure...

1. In 41 years as an RV tech, I have NEVER heard or had this type issue. Of course, lots of rv'ers rarely use the Oven and if they had the problem would probably just think it is normal because it is a RV appliance
2. LP Gas PRESSURE would be the first check. Low pressure would keep the Burner from the hottest flame
3. The location and mount of the Tstat temp sensor should be checked. It should mounted in its clip, usually on the back wall.
4. Last would be a defective tstat. If never above 250 degrees and 2/3 check out I would replace the Tstat control. I doubt an adjustment would fix this. Doug
PS, The operational LP pressure of the Ovens are 10 inches WC. The SUPPLY is 11.5 inches WC. The Ovens/ranges have their own pressure regulator that drops from the 11.5 to 10. IF the supply is below the 11.5 or even 10, then you will have inadequate Pressure/Supply. SO, do NOT take the Pressure measurement at the Back side of the Oven hook up. You can take the Copper/rubber supply line off the input to the oven and check/verify the LP pressure.
