I was about to say yes, but there was one part left that I wasn't sure what it is, so I checked. The casing says ELTH 271P / T200, which from what I can gather is a thermal cut-off switch. A potential problem cause?
The active one out of two top heating coils measures 3.6A, roughly 800W at 230V. Seems alright and should not trigger it I guess.
I mentioned it in other comments, but I'm going to edit the post to include it there.
It's an AEG model I think, sold under the IKEA FRAMTID series (OV9 model). Thermostat is an EGO 55.17253.120. Similar thermostats are barely cheaper than a new identical model where I live.
That sounds like a zero drift/calibration error.
That's what I thought too, but when I try it with bottom heat only, it switches just at the right temperature.
If its got a computer in it u might be fucked.
The oven only has a display for the clock and the roasting thermometer, the thermostat is independent (an EGO 55.17253.120).
If u got a physical temperature knob u could always just rotate it on the dial by 80C
I really want to avoid that.
Placement looks okay to me, sure is dirty up there though. Could that be the issue?
I've been wondering about whether I could replace it with a cheaper thermostat with a similar rating. I'm gonna check the placement.
I might have phrased that a little ambiguously. The thermostat does not switch off at 80 degrees, but 80 degrees below target temperature (set 150, reached 70).
The replacement thermostat is 40€, which is more than I usually intend to spend on a repair, so it would be a shame to buy it and find that the fault is still there.

Thanks for the read, that sent me down an interesting rabbit hole
Unfortunately I've got nothing to add, just wanted to let you know I'm in the same boat. The feeling of guilt and the inability to structure my day are making me depressed. The company I'm working for doing an absurd amount of "status meetings" is the icing on the cake.
Yup, is says powered by Avast.
It has two heating elements in the top, one of them is active when you select top + bottom heat. It is only 800W. The other one comes on when you select a grill function.
I got it for free on a local marketplace. The owner just said it worked alright in those years.
