Customer Questions and Answers for Temperature Switch (Smart Atc) by Whirlpool

4.89 (64)
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: OEM18049203
Manufacturer Part Number: WPW10179666

This Smart ATC temperature switch senses and helps regulate oven temperature for more consistent cooking. It replaces a failed switch to restore correct temperature feedback to the range control for accurate heating. What it does:

  • Detects oven temperature and sends a signal to the control so heating elements cycle appropriately
  • Helps correct issues where the oven runs too hot, too cold, or cycles erratically
  • Works as part of the temperature control system—does not include the main control board
  • Replaces a worn or failed temperature/A.T.C. sensor switch to restore proper temperature sensing
What's included:
  • One temperature switch (Smart ATC)
Install notes:
  • Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury
  • Access typically requires removing the oven control panel or back panel; keep track of screws and wire connections
  • Handle the switch and connector gently to avoid damage; verify wiring matches original before reconnecting
