Eric for Model Number GS440LEMQ2 Whirlpool gas range on natural gas, in service for 11 years- oven starts and pre-heats, but sometimes will not restart to maintain temperature after being in use for 15 minutes. If I adjust the oven temperature higher on the control panel, it may work normally, but also may continue to fail. Should I chase the temperature sensor as faulty? What is the resistance for this component so I can test it? Do they fail often at this age?
Answer Hello Eric. You will need to check the sensor in the unit. It should read around 1100 ohms at room temp and 1650 ohms at 350°. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
