My oven won't heat above 250°F. My temperature sensor is reading the correct ohms and both my elements have been tested for continuity and resistance. Is there anything else I can check? Is it the PCB board?

Seems obvious, the inside of your oven is blue. Which we all know makes things cooler. Try painting it red, that will make it hotter.
>PCB board
Yes, I would check the Printed Circuit Board board. I bet you have one too many.
>won't heat above 250°F
That won't do. We've only got a few years to bake these 6000000 cookies.
These are no-bake.
Yes. Anything that new has warranties. So when the modern shit fails, someone else can come fix it for you.

Wrong board, buddy. Go back to /po/
Check your warranty. The stove company will probably have a person come fix it even if its past warranty date, just be pleasant over the phone. Idk but good luck
If it’s an electric oven check the outlet you are plugging into. Make sure you’re getting 240v. I had the same sort of issue with my electric dryer. Turns out the plug only read 120 on one side. The other was 0. Turns out one pole of the 2 pole breaker had failed. Could be simple as that. Good luck.
Once again I've clicked into a terrible thread on PrepHole just to have a laugh,
but I've come away with some nugget of helpful information that I'm sure I'll reference at some point in the future.
Thanks, yo.
Had that happen with a dryer on a Bussman fused panel. One of the two fuses was blown. The rotary timer would still work as it was 120V, but the element would not heat up.

Do you have dials or buttons? If buttons, good luck. If dials I'd replace the dial. I have a Hotpoint from 1967 that still runs like a champ, I've had to replace 2 elements in 20 years.
Ovens usually have 2 elements. Top and bottom. One of them might be busted. I had to replace the bottom one in my last oven, but that was easy because it was exposed and visible. Some of the newer models have the elements hidden.
Try cleaning the thing for once.
I had an issue like this once on my electric oven. I took the control board out and inspected it, finding cracked solder joints on the relays that go to the element. The thermal stress on the joints can eventually crack the solder on them, leading to increased resistance and poor heating. I reflowed the joints, cleaned up the flux, and it was back to working correctly. May only be relevant if your oven and controller are a bit old and have been through enough thermal cycles for that to happen, but worth a check.
Test the outlet
I'd test the outlet.

put a israelite inside, and try again
For me, its a possibility youre leaking heat via imperfect seal or poor insulation.
Tho I think the power issue is more likely
