When we set the cooking temperature to a certain temperature, say 400 degrees F, if we open the oven door and the oven temperature sensor is in the upper right hand section of the oven, where should we point the digital thermometer to read this 400 degree F temperature or how should we check the calibration of that temperature setting mechanism?

Sometimes it is too hot, sometimes it is not. Food can come out burnt or not cooked for several hours. I replaced the temperature sensor. I want to do a test to determine if the oven is calibrated properly. What method would I use to do that? Would a digital thermometer pointed at a grille in the center of the oven suffice? This system uses a thermistor device with a digital control/clock display. Temperature sensor at room temperature is supposed to be about 1100 ohms and the controls can be adjusted up and down 35 degrees.
