One of the wires was discolored. But on that wire, I tried to clean the connector by rubbing it with sand paper and closing the connection gap a bit to make a more solid connection.

That connection may be the source of your trouble. It was probably the wire that was connected to the output terminal of the burnt relay. I would replace that terminal and see if it makes a difference. Did you get a chance to listen for the relays?

I can fix the terminal, but what exactly do you mean replace the terminal? Do you mean replace the connector on the wire that goes to the terminal?? Also, what about the "oven on" indicator light going off. Does that indicate some kind problem?? What would make that light go off?

The terminal on the wire that is discolored that you tried to tighten up is the one I mean to replace. That main board controls the oven, the sensor just tells it what temperature (by way of a resistance reading) and the potentiometer tells it what resistance it should be at. It still seems that the board may have issues.

I did resolve this issue, in short:
The oven heats up to the desired temperature and then does not maintain that temperature, the oven slowly cools down.
Here is what was happening, on the initial heating both the broil and the oven heating element are on to quickly heat up the oven to the cooking temperature. After the cooking temperature is reached only the oven heating element is used to maintain the cooking heat. The broil element is no longer used. (the oven is on bake or convection bake, not on broil). When I checked and found that the oven heating element was burnt out (multi-meter said it had infinite resistance). So the broil element did heat up the oven, but the oven heating element would not work to maintain the temperature.
I replaced the oven heating element. Now my oven is working again for me. It all makes sense now.
Hope this info helps somebody. Good Luck with your oven repairs out there !!
