Hi, My moms Kenmore 95804 oven. It heats but the digital temperature readout on the range will only reach 260 degrees. The oven does go much higher but she can't control it.

SOURCE: Oven does not heat to proper temperature

get a new oven

SOURCE: Oven Doesn't Reach Set Temperature

Check the element for burns/wholes this was problem for our.  Easy fix and part is about 35 to 40 dollars.  

SOURCE: NEFF Oven Model B1430NOGB/02 Oven Temp not heating above @50 degrees

probably the element. to save wasting money, check continuity with a multimeter

hi. thanks for the question . i would replace the igniter in oven .thanks the appliance doc

SOURCE: Oven will not heat past 300 degrees (on bake command)

Remove the bottom plate on the stove which is likely help in place by a couple of bolts at the back. Remove the plate & inspect the bake element underneath. It is probably melted or broken in some area. It it does need replacing unplug the stove from the wall & remove one of the back panels at the back of the stove which access the wiring at this height on the stove. Disconnect the element.
Installation of new element is the same but in reverse.
Good luck!
