Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Oven Temperature Sensor (Part Number: OEM12028377)

Answer

Hello Sheryl, The oven temperature sensor should read about 1100 ohms at about 70°F. There will be slight variations but this reading should be within about 10% tolerance. If this reading is way off, the sensor should be replaced. If a wire looks like it has been hot, is discolored, or the insulative material contacting it is malformed, this are an indications of a poor contact. This could also be an issue with the gas valve or the bake WP7432P136-60 or broil 74007498 ignitors.
