Suburban SRNA3LBBS oven

My oven will not heat up above 250 degrees. Ever time I check it the burner is lit. I am checking temp with a oven thermometer. I have noticed sometimes the burner flame will increase and decrease in flame length.
This is in a 2018 forest river 5th wheel. When I bought rv the oven worked great but now 2 years later I’m having issue.

    Did you open the propane valves (at the tank) nice and slow?

    Per Owners Manual
    Oven burner will come on immediately and the oven burner will stay on until it reaches the desired setting. Then the oven burner flame will decrease in size. This is normal for this type of thermostat and this flame size will maintain a constant temperature withing the oven. NOTE: Oven thermostat was calibrated at the factory and is not field adjustable.


    Sounds like Oven thermostat has failed

    2 year warranty from Purchase Date......>//// is you RV buy date past the 2 yrs?



    Otherwise......new oven thermostat is roughly $90
