Customer Questions and Answers for Oven Temperature Sensor by Whirlpool

Martha, You will want to test the oven sensor first and make sure that it is working properly. To do this you will need to test it at the control board with it plugged into the board. This will eliminate the wire and the sensor. You will test for resistance of 1090 ohms at room temp. The equation that you would use for when the temperature rises is for every 1 degree increase you will add 2 ohms of resistance. This will be the best way to test the sensor and wire. If these test ok then the issue will be the control board.
