Oven does not always hold correct temperature.
Problem
Upper and lower ovens do not always hold the set temperature.
Fixes/Troubleshooting
Placed thermostat in oven to monitor actual temperature. When the temperature does not match it is off 25-50 degrees. Ran ovens at 350 degrees for over an hour.
Temperature probe in both upper and lower over were replaced 2 years ago, and test good at time of this post.
The oven control board was also replaced 2 years ago also. (Control Board 316460201 / AP3950967).
I inspected the lower heating element and it is good.
Reason for replacing parts 2 years ago: Upper oven was having this same issue.
Any thoughts on what can cause this?
