Answer

Hello Shawn, The service manual explains as follows: Replacing Oven Sensor 1. Turn off gas and remove power from unit (at the circuit breaker). 2. Remove screws securing sensor to oven cavity back wall. 3. Gently pull the wire toward the front of the oven until the connector is within reach. 4. Disconnect sensor and remove from oven cavity. 5. Reverse procedures to reassemble. NOTE: When re-installing sensor, fasten connector then feed wires into sensor installation hole until pressure is felt (wires pressing against main back wall). This reduces the risk of damage to the connector when the oven is in use. I'm sorry but I was unable to locate a video for a wall oven.
