Hi, When you set the oven to 350F where does it actually heat too ?
Does the bottom bake element ever go off at 350F or does it stay red hot till the oven is turned off ?
The oven temperature control system on this range has several components, 1 A responder, the thing the temperature dial is attached to, 2 a sensor in the oven, 3 a set of heat relays, 4 a transformer to step down the voltage for this control system and several temperature limit thermostats etc.
I would need answers to the first questions to even guess what might be wrong.
The oven control system on these first FD SC oven [ plus the Tender-Matic system ] made this one of the most complex ovens ever built for home use and they often became very hard to keep working, in my time I converted several to non-SCing operation by installing a standard hydraulic thermostat so the customer did not have to trash such a beautiful range.
I have one of these first FD SC ranges in our collection in the 40" model, I will post a few picture of what's inside the rear panel to make it all work.
