this is a dual wave with microwave on top and regular oven below. Regular ovens temp is about a hundred degrees below digital display and digital display rules. A temporary fix is to set the temp about a hundred degrees above desired temp and use an oven thermometer. Where to start? Thanks Crazyman

The model number you posted does not come up.
Verify and repost it, please.

I saw a "thermostat" that has been discontinued. Any advice? I have this unit with the same problem described above by crazyman, except my unit can fluctuate up or down significantly. Thank you, Sam

Thank you,
Sam Update: I originally searched by model # and then looked at the parts list. I just searched by part description using "switch, thermostat" and quite a few came up. Can you possibly be more specific as to which part # is needed for this unit (JKP78G*K3)? Thanks again, Sam

Thank you, Gene.
To clarify, please:
You are saying that the post, above, re the problem being the thermostat switch, is most likely incorrect?
FYI, I have already replaced the temp sensor, the lower heating element, and I sent the control board out to be serviced (it's been a while, I don't remember who serviced it). All to no avail.
Thanks again,
Sam

Sam,
This thermostat switch is a safety device used for self clean and has nothing to do with the cooking temperature.
The oven sensor, the oven control board and the wiring harness between them - there is nothing else involved in the cooking temperature control.
Gene.
