Customer Questions and Answers for Oven Sensor Assembly by Ge

Hello James, Yes in order to test the oven sensor you will need to pull the unit out from the wall and disconnect power. Remove the rear cover of unit and disconnect the sensor. Check the resistance of sensor for 1090 ohms. The allowance is 10 percent. If not within range then you would need to replace sensor.

Hello Cindy. Open oven sensor. Test the sensor and see if it is around 1100 ohms at room temp. If not, replace the sensor. 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

Hello Jeffrey, You will want to do a resistance check on the oven sensor. The resistance should be 1090 ohms plus or minus 10 percent at room temp. If not within range then you will need to replace the oven sensorWB21X5301. 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

Hello Joe, This is the fault code for an open temperature sensor WB21X22134.

Hello Kate, You will want to calibrate unit by following these steps: 1 Press bake 2 Select any temperature above 500 degrees 3 Quickly press and hold bake for approximately 5 seconds until "00" or the previously entered temperature is displayed. 4 Tap the arrow up or down to change the oven temperature for +35 or -35 in 5 degree increments 5 Press Clear/Off to return to normal operation.

Hello Tim, On the F2 error code it can mean 1 of 2 things depending on the conditions. If the unit was in use and actually had an overtemp condition then you would want to look for welded contacts on the bake or broil relays on the clock assembly. If there are burnt contacts then replace control board. If there was not an over temperature that occurred then check the resistance of the oven sensor. The sensor should read 1100 ohms at room temperature. Check the wiring from the sensor to the clock to make sure that the wiring is not damaged. If the Sensor does not have proper reading then replace oven sensor [AP2023670}

Hello Danny, This sounds like the temperature sensor WB21X5301 is out of tolerance. You should realize that, without measuring the resistance to ensure a resistance of about 1100O at about 70°F and tapping on it in case of an intermittent connection, this would be throwing a temperature sensor at it. The reason I bring this up is the fact that the control circuit that reads this temperature information sent by the sensor could have the problem. There could also be an issue with the harness that connects the two. As a general rule of thumb, if the sensor tests good and the harness isn't pinched too tightly in a wire tie, the control WB27K10140 is usually the component at fault.

Hello Kyle, The correct oven sensor for your unit is WB21X5301. The compatiblity chart would show that the part is not compatible due to the O in the model number. If you put in model as JKP14WT1WW it will show compatible.

Hello Ray. Test the oven sensor WB21X5301 and see if it reads around 1100 ohms at room temperature. If so, replace the control of the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Hello Mike, You may want to check the limit switches WB24K5085 and WB24K5049 to make sure that they are not open circuit. You can do a continuity check on these. If there is no continuity then that means they are open. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.
