The Temperature Sensor is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens and ranges. It monitors the internal temperature of the oven cavity and communicates with the oven control board to maintain accurate cooking temperatures. This ensures that your oven heats to the correct temperature for baking, roasting, and broiling.

Causes of a bad temperature sensor can include normal wear and tear, exposure to high temperatures over extended periods, or damage from accidental impacts or electrical surges.

Symptoms of a bad temperature sensor include:

  • Incorrect oven temperatures
  • Overcooking or undercooking of food
  • Oven not heating up
  • Error codes displayed on the oven control panel

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Answer

Paul, with the power cord unplugged, the broil element W11321472 and the bake element W10779716 would need to be tested for continuity to the oven frame. If there is continuity on either element, that part would need to be replaced. If there is no continuity, the oven sensor W10833885 would need to be tested for resistance and it should measure around 1100 Ohms at room temperature while increasing 2 Ohms for every 1 degree in temperature that it gets warmer. If these things test ok, the oven control WPW10586737 would be the cause of failure.
