Nancygn for Model Number GS470LEMB2 I am getting code EO -F3- and the oven and timer both shut off mid way through cooking. F3 is "replace oven temperature sensor", what is the part number and is this something that is fairly simple that my husband can replace?
Answer Nancygn, the oven temperature sensor is part number WPW10181986. The sensor can be tested for resistance to ensure if it has failed. The error indicates an open sensor, and if the sensor tests for 1080O at room temperature, then the wiring would need to be inspected for any broken or bare wires. If the wire checks good, then the likely failure would be in the main control 4453608. Unfortunately, the manufacturer has discontinued the main control and it is no longer available. The replacement of the oven sensor is not difficult and the video found at the link https://www.appliancepartspros.com/whirlpool-sensor-rtd-sealed-wpw10181986-ap6016450.html#autoplay can be used as a reference for the repair.
