This electric broil element sits at the top of the oven cavity and provides the high, direct heat needed for broiling. Replace it to restore reliable top-down heating when the broiler won't heat or browns food unevenly. What it does:

• Delivers intense radiant heat from the top of the oven during Broil
• Engages for searing/browning; may also cycle during preheat on some models
• Common failure signs: no broil heat, weak or uneven browning, element doesn't glow, or visible blisters/cracks on the coil

• 1 broil element

• Disconnect power at the breaker and allow the oven to cool completely
• Remove oven racks, take out mounting screws, and gently pull the element forward
• Transfer wires one at a time; support leads so they don't slip back behind the liner
• Ensure terminals are fully seated, secure the element, restore power, and test broil

This oven temperature sensor monitors heat inside the oven and sends that signal to the control to regulate the heating elements. Replacing a faulty sensor restores accurate preheat and steadier baking performance. What it does:

• Continuously measures actual oven-cavity temperature and reports it to the control
• Lets the control board cycle bake and broil elements to maintain the set temperature
• Common symptoms of failure: won't reach set temperature, runs too hot or too cold, extended preheat, or sensor-related error codes on the display
• If the sensor reads open/shorted, many controls will disable heat as a safety

• 1 oven temperature sensor

• Disconnect power at the breaker; allow the oven to cool completely
• Sensor is typically mounted to the rear oven wall; remove mounting screws and gently pull the sensor forward to access the connector (some models require rear-panel access)
• Disconnect the 2-wire plug carefully to avoid losing the connector into the insulation
• Route wiring as original, seat the connector fully, secure the sensor, restore power, and test operation

The Oven Temperature Sensor Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens. This sensor is essential for monitoring the oven's internal temperature, ensuring that it reaches and maintains the correct temperature for baking and cooking. The sensor is approximately 7 inches long.

Over time, the oven temperature sensor can fail due to repeated heating and cooling cycles, exposure to spills or grease, or electrical issues. When the sensor malfunctions, it can result in inaccurate temperature readings, affecting cooking performance and food quality.

Symptoms of a bad oven temperature sensor include:

• The oven not reaching the set temperature
• Food cooking unevenly or not fully
• The oven overheating or underheating
• Error codes related to temperature issues
