Lower unit seems to work fine and gets to 350 when set. Broiler element seems to work fine and I have continuity in the bake element. I also show 1075 ohms in the thermostat element.

Sounds like it is a control board problem. I am assuming that the unit shows that it is ready when the temperature is low. Below is a link to the operator manuals. Perhaps try calibrating the oven temperature (page 14). I doubt this will help as it is normally just for plus/minus 35 degrees.

I did find an outfit in Texas that rebuilds them. ************************.com. They state that a common problem is that the oven will not get to temperature. It's $150 shipping included with a 2 year warranty. I checked with Whirlpool and they said it was indeed discontinued. They gave me a Angels Obsolete Parts company to call. I have an email into them to see if they have the part. But apparently it's no money back if it doesn't work. Any other suggestions? Thanks for your help!
