Answer

Hello Kevin. Oven sensor opened. 1. Unplug range or disconnect power. 2. Disconnect sensor from harness. 3. Measure sensor value (between connector pins) between 1000 ? @ 0° C (32° F) and 2697 ? @ 482° C (900° F), (room temperature approx. = 1080 ?). Also measure from sensor connector to sensor casing for possible short. If measurements do not correlate to real temperature, or if short is found, replace sensor. 4. Trace the wires and connectors to the sensor from control, and back to control. If wire or connection is damaged, replace the harness. 5. Reconnect the sensor to the harness. 6. Plug in range or reconnect power. 7. Press BAKE and START/ENTER. Observe for longer than 1 minute. If failure remains, go to step 8. 8. Unplug range or disconnect power. 9. Replace control.
