This oven temperature sensor monitors heat inside the oven and sends that signal to the control to regulate the heating elements. Replacing a faulty sensor restores accurate preheat and steadier baking performance. What it does:

• Continuously measures actual oven-cavity temperature and reports it to the control
• Lets the control board cycle bake and broil elements to maintain the set temperature
• Common symptoms of failure: won't reach set temperature, runs too hot or too cold, extended preheat, or sensor-related error codes on the display
• If the sensor reads open/shorted, many controls will disable heat as a safety

• 1 oven temperature sensor

• Disconnect power at the breaker; allow the oven to cool completely
• Sensor is typically mounted to the rear oven wall; remove mounting screws and gently pull the sensor forward to access the connector (some models require rear-panel access)
• Disconnect the 2-wire plug carefully to avoid losing the connector into the insulation
• Route wiring as original, seat the connector fully, secure the sensor, restore power, and test operation

• Helps restore proper airflow and reduces unusual sounds caused by damaged or collapsed tubing
• Used when visible cracks, holes, blockages, or detachment are found in the existing lower vent

• One lower vent tube (single piece as shown)

• Disconnect power and water (if applicable) before starting any repair
• Inspect mating seals and clamps; replace if worn to ensure a secure, leak-free fit
• Handle gently to avoid kinking; route the tube the same way as the original for correct airflow/drainage

This ground screw secures the appliance's grounding wire or strap to the chassis or terminal area, creating a reliable bonding point. Replace a missing or damaged screw to restore a proper ground connection during installation or service.

• Provides the designated bonding point for the grounding wire/strap

• Helps maintain a consistent ground path for safe operation
• Typical reasons to replace: stripped head/threads, corrosion, or a missing screw

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Route the ground wire/strap to the specified grounding location
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening
• Ensure the ground connection is secure and complies with local electrical codes before restoring power
