Well, I am still here..
Those are some very good tips and comments. Thank you.
We still have Christmas cookie production running.
She is using the knob to, i guess, bypass the thermostat or sensor/relay. She turns it to total broil and then turns it back to very low. This doesnt let the thermostat decide i guess.
For temperature monitoring, I have a fluke DVM that has a thermocouple input and tells temperature. This oven is like an Amana or Magic Chef or something, but the temperature is also WAY WAY off.
A lot of heat seems to escape from the unit. Maybe from the back. You can put your hand there and feel it. I was thinking it needs some fiberglass stuffed in there. Like maybe they forgot to insulate it.
How old is it? The oven in my '84 Allegro failed in this manner. It was the gas valve not re-opening. Eventually it stopped working completely. The part is no longer available. I *think* it was a Magic Chef or maybe Atwood. I replaced it with a scratch-n-dent oven removed from a new motorhome for half the cost of a new one.
And I do believe broil is pretty much constant on so you won't have the issue, though temperature regulation could be tricky.
