Customer Questions and Answers for Temperature Probe (Oven Sensor) by Whirlpool

This oven temperature probe senses the cooking cavity temperature so the range control can regulate heat for accurate baking and roasting. It replaces a failed or intermittent sensor to restore correct temperature feedback. What it does:

• Measures oven temperature and sends the signal to the control board for proper heating control
• Helps correct symptoms such as oven not reaching set temperature, inconsistent baking, or temperature error codes
• Provides the oven control with the feedback needed for timed cooking and self-clean cycles
• Replaces a damaged or open/shorted probe that causes incorrect temperature readings

• One temperature probe

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before servicing to avoid shock
• Handle the sensor and connector gently to avoid damage; route and secure wiring as originally installed
• Reconnect wiring fully and verify secure connection; test oven function and temperature accuracy after installation
