The Oven Temperature Sensor is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens. This component is responsible for monitoring the oven's internal temperature, sending data to the control board to maintain the desired cooking temperature. It ensures accurate temperature readings, which are essential for baking, roasting, and other cooking functions.
Causes of a bad Oven Temperature Sensor include prolonged exposure to high temperatures, which can degrade its responsiveness over time. Additionally, physical damage or wear and tear can lead to inaccurate temperature readings.
Symptoms of a bad Oven Temperature Sensor include:
- The oven temperature is inconsistent with the setting.
- Food is not cooking evenly or as expected.
- The oven fails to reach the set temperature, or it overshoots it significantly.
- Error codes related to temperature regulation appear on the oven's display.
This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
