General Electric Range / Cooktop / Oven Fuse Or Sensor

This oven temperature sensor monitors interior oven temperature and sends readings to the control board so the oven maintains accurate cooking temperatures. Replacing a faulty sensor restores proper temperature sensing for consistent results. What it does:

• Measures oven cavity temperature and reports it to the range/oven control
• Prevents cycling issues that cause over- or under-heating when sensor fails
• Can cause oven not to reach set temperature, long heat times, or temperature error codes
• Works as the temperature feedback element for bake and broil cycles

• One oven temperature sensor (probe) with attached wire connector

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock
• Sensor is typically mounted inside the oven cavity (rear wall) and secured with a retaining screw; access requires opening the oven door and removing the mounting screw and connector
• Handle the thin probe and wiring gently to avoid damage; ensure connector is fully seated when installing

This thermal limiter is a temperature-sensing safety cutoff that helps protect the dryer's heating system from overheating. It interrupts power to the heater when unsafe temperatures are detected to prevent damage or fire risk. What it does:

• Acts as a safety cutoff in the dryer's heating circuit to stop the heater if temperatures rise too high
• Prevents continuous heating that can damage components or create a fire hazard
• Common symptom: dryer runs but produces little or no heat
• Common symptom: dryer heating cycles stop unexpectedly or won't come on

• One thermal limiter

• Disconnect power to the appliance before testing or replacing this part
• Handle and connect the limiter carefully; ensure proper terminal seating and secure mounting
