Call an appliance tech in, thats it theres nothing at ALL that you as a homeowner can check. Hundred of thousands of times the HSI can glow and still not be good and only a pro like us can tell NOT DIYers.
Your oven isn't working. Your thermostat needs to be replaced OR reset. If the oven is gas, the gas company "may" come to reset the temperature. (They used to, not sure if they still do.)
Check to make sure the elements work. They should be glowing when the oven is heating up. Other than that, it is probably the thermostat. I'm sure they are very easy and cheap to replace. You'll probably have to take it to an appliance repair place.
Sounds like you have a ele. stove if so your element may not be working correctly
Is it gas or electric? What's wrong would depend on which type it is. Could be the heating element if it's electric.
Do you have an oven thermometer? You can stick one in there to see how hot it's really getting.
You can call the Gas Co. and they will come check your stove and oven for free. It sounds like it is not getting to the temp you are setting for. Unless you are at a high elevation then check the cooking time for that, it will make a difference.
I suspect that your thermostat has gone bad, and will need
to be replaced, if it is cost effective to do so. Of course you
know that you put the oven on 450, and leave it empty for
10 minutes. The pizza is supposed to go into a preheated
oven.
