No model number. Unfortunately the previous owner scrubbed off the model number from the ID plate. This is a "plain vanilla" Magic Chef Gas Range, about 15 years old. Electronic ignition meaning glow wire for oven, spark igniters for burners. No electronic clock controls--only analog clock with timer.
The oven overheats by 50 degrees. Is there some way to adjust the oven temp? Or is the only solution to buy new oven control with new oven temp sensor?

Will see what this brings in terms of temp reduction. I assume this is trial and error?
