Okay, I’ve no clue what you’ve been given or from where so I can’t tell you if it’s correct or not. That’s not a real part number as many retailers will hide the real part numbers so you can’t price compare.
The correct thermostat used for both large and small oven in that appliance is this one:

Or this compatible that’s cheaper, same thing though really:

There are only earth and two spade terminals or should be on the original version. The new one may have three on it and it’s simply a case of figuring out what ones make and break on temp if they’re not marked, which they often will be with numbers on the thermostat body.

odf22000x also not valid, sorry.
It is really important to get that mode correct or use the product code from the rating plate of the oven around the door opening.

The clock unit is basically just that, a clock and user input board.
The main board does all the work.
Not an easy one, changes on serial number and a replacement needs to be programmed for the specific version. Insane I know for an oven but, it is what it is.

It may well just be a dodgy water valve, though I’d expect it to error rather than continue but stranger things I guess. The valve used in it is this one:

Where did you order it from, what part number was supplied? Also can you check the model as odf2230x is not recognised?

Those sensors, where they are, vary cabinet by cabinet so it is a case of hunting them down by following the wiring. Digging them out. Replacing and re-insulating.
Not an easy two minute job.
Flipside is, they’re not expensive and at this point you have got the cost of the parts to lose and not much else. If it fixes it, you win a watch. If not you lose a few quid and have the satisfaction that you did all you could.
Or, you cut the losses and move on.

Temperature fluctuation is perfectly normal. It’s how they all work one way or another. The actual tolerance and mechanics vary, some more than others and you need to account for ambients also.
If you want an absolute rock-solid constant temperature or rather, an almost imperceptible variation then you can get cabinets that will do that, normally used for medical or research purposes and they cost mega, mega money.
Back in the land of domestic and most commercial, the mean temp (which will also be the core food temp) should be -18˚C or close to it and that typically means flux between approx -16 to -20/1˚C. But it can vary depending on the unit, measurement criteria, ambient and so on.
Data loggers and temp readings are all well and good but like most data, only if you understand what you’re looking at and for. 😉
What you’re trying to do is determine the core temp of the stored goods, not what the cabinet is doing to achieve that. At least in terms of mechanical performance, at any rate, the point is, it does as it should. The stuff in the cabinet will not fluctuate in temperature anything like that air temp.
If you look at any and cooking is the same, you’ll get these sorts of temp variances.
That said, the swing and variance between high and low there is too much, particularly the high temp, it’s way too high. Therefore, there will be food degradation and that will be a high and real risk in fish and poultry especially that could be a potentially serious health risk so, by logical extension, it needs to be fixed or replaced and you must assume that anything in it is already compromised and unfit for consumption.
If you choose to use the food in it, it’s at your own risk. Me, I’d assume it was ruined and bin it. Better safe than ill.

Could well be a thermistor problem then but that’s a bit of a nightmare as it’s these:

The adaptor folds to fit, it’s hinged.
Some of these stats are and we warn people of this, a bit of a ‘mare to fit.
K.
That part number ought to be this kit:

Though I’ve seen it and copies supplied without the adaptor.
The genuine Smeg stat for that model is:
