Just a little background on this situation. I bought the dual fuel range approximately 2 years ago because I was remodeling my house. Long story short I have just finished the remodel and have plugged it in to use for the first time ever. Right off the back, it wouldn't function right. I have already replaced the touch panel and the control board. That seemed to allow me to turn the stove on and it work.

I didn't perform a full systems check at that point. I just accepted it as working because the oven started getting warm and the touch panel worked.

I still do not have a gas line ran so I hope there will be no problems with the range section. I stayed at the house for the first time last night and went to heat up dinner in the oven. That is when I tried to preheat the oven to 425F and noticed it would never get above 385F. I tried doing some immediate troubleshooting and diagnostics with no tools.

I have concluded so far (without using a separate temperature gauge) using the temperature reading on the touchpad that no matter what temperature I select to preheat, there is always a 40-degree difference between desired setting and the actual readout.

I also tried the bottom baking drawer and it seems to work correctly (again not confirmed with a temp gauge only the panel readout). I also tried going into the tools menu and adjusting the calibration which only allows a 30-degree swing in temp. That also did not work, so now I am here. Any help would be much appreciated.

Lets first ohm test the oven sensor.

Watch this video to ohm test it:

Pull your RANGE out from the wall, then unplug it from the wall, then take back access panel off and you will see a connector that goes to it, remove the connector and ohm test it.

Here's the oven sensor for your model:

These are the 2 reading based on the 2 lowest settings in Ohms. The lowest setting I could never get to produce a reading except for a split second and very randomly. Please see attached photos with reading and setting.

Between 1050 and 1100 ohms at room is good.

So the only other part that would cause this problem is the control board itself.

Here's the control board for your model:
