Frank October 11, 2016 for Model Number Hotpoint Range RB787BH5BB Oven temperature setpoint @ 300F is 50F cold. Thermometer place in oven registers 250F at setting of 300F. Is the sensor the only potential issue? Element glows red throughout.
1 Answer Hello Frank. Test the sensor and see if it reads bad or good. If it is good, then you will need to replace the control on the unit. Read More...
Joe May 02, 2016 for Model Number GE md# JBP24W0B5WW I'm getting a F4 code & the oven doesn't work. What is the F4 code?
1 Answer Hello Joe, The F4 error indicates an open or shorted oven temperature sensor WB21X22134. Read More...
Carol February 06, 2016 for Model Number JTP14WV2WW My electric wall oven has been acting up and giving the F3 error off and on for awhile now. Just this week it finally won't heat up at all and all we get is the F3 error when we try to get it to heat. We think the sensor is the problem, but are having trouble figuring out what sensor # to order. Is it: WB23X5340 ? Any help/advice you can give would be much appreciated! Thank you!
1 Answer Hello Carol, You will need to measure the resistance of the temperature sensor WB23X5340 and if it reads about 1100 ohms at room temperature, (70°F), you will need to then perform the same test from the control end of the sensor harness, (2 white wires from pin 4 to pin 6 on the harness while unplugged from the board, testing the wires back toward the sensor). A difference in the reading indicates a bad harness while no problem found indicates a problem with the control WB27K5195. If there is an issue with this control you will have to contact a company such as Corecentric Solutions 866-737-2244/ corecentricsolutions.com to see if you can get this board repaired since this part has been discontinued by the manufacturer and no satisfactory substitutions have been provided.

Bernie January 23, 2016 for Model Number GE Model JBP66BY1AD What is the proper sensor kit for this Model ? Is it a 1100 ohm unit or a 15 ohm unit ? I was having trouble with it preheating and the oven element not coming on but after unplugging , checking things out and powering up again it seems to be working. Control board problem ?
1 Answer Bernie, the correct oven temp. sensor for the model number you supplied is WB23X5340/ WB23X5340, which is an 1100 ohm resistance oven sensor. It could be a control problem, but we wouldn't start there, start with the sensor, they can loose calibration and act erratic, when they get older, and if subjected to high temperatures on a constant basis.

Steve January 04, 2016 for Model Number JBP78AOB1AA GE oven does not heat up to proper temperature. Food does not thoroughly cook. Both upper & lower elements do light up. Could it be the temp. sensor or the elements or both?
1 Answer Hello Steve, This is most likely the temperature sensor WB23X5340 or the control WB50T10043 or a connection between the two. The temperature sensor can be tested for resistance and should read about 1100 ohms at about 70°F. If good, the same reading should be present at the control board where the sensor harness connects, (to test the sensor harness). Be sure to tap on the sensor during the test in case of an intermittent connection. Read More...
Bob December 23, 2015 for Model Number GE JTP56BOA2BB I have a GE Profile double wall oven. Is the correct temperature sensor for this oven part number AP2023913? Thanks.
Julie November 14, 2015 for Model Number JTP15W0D1WW Hello, I believe I found the proper part #'s for the sensor arm and sensor kit for my GE JTP15W0D1WW 30" built in oven. Is there any way to find out if I need the whole sensr kit or if just replacing the arm will do the trick? In my google research (yes, I'm THAT girl lol..) I found the same exact symptoms others were having and believe this is the faulty part. My oven turns on, the broil function even works, but it automatically stops heating after about 20 minutes or so. The part#'s I found are: AP3187983 for the arm and AP2023913 for the kit (pleae let me know if I am incorrect). Any suggestions on figuring out if I need the whole kit or just the arm? Many thanks in advance!! Julie :)
1 Answer Julie, The correct oven temperature sensor for your unit is WB23T10015. You will want to test the sensor to make sure that this is the issue. Test it at room temperature and it should have a resistance of 1090 ohms. Then test it with the oven set to 350 degrees. For every 1 degree that the temperature rises you would add 2 ohms of resistance in order to determine the correct resistance at 350 degrees. Read More...
Simeon March 11, 2015 for Model Number JTPZ0B0F4BB Hello, I have a GE oven Model # JTPZ0B0F4BB that will start up to begin preheating but then automatically shuts off before reaching the desired temperature. I believe that it is an issue with the sensor; however I am not sure of the correct part number to replace it. I wasn't sure if the GE Sensor kit (Part Number: AP2023913) would do the trick. Thank you.
Paul Hoeft March 27, 2014 for Model Number JTP13 I have a 20 year old built in oven. Everything works fine except the self clean cycle cuts out prior to the cycle being finished and gives a overheating code. The unit does about 1/3 of the cycle prior to exiting the cycle. What is the most likely cause?? Thanks, paul
1 Answer Paul, In a lot of cases the overheating issue will be caused by a faulty oven sensor. If you test the oven sensor it should have a resistance rating of 1090 ohms. If outside of this range then the sensor is faulty and would need to be replaced. Read More...
Jeff July 26, 2013 for Model Number ZET757WA1AA We have a GE Monogram double oven Model ZET757WA1AA. One oven (the upper) has received only minimal usage while the other (the lower) is used daily. I think we may need a new temp sensor for the lower oven. I would like to remove the temp sensor from the upper oven and install it in the lower to make certain that this is our problem. There are two screws inside the oven which hold the temp sensor in place on the rear wall but I'm not certain if the temp sensor can be disconnected and replaced all from the inside or oven interior. Will I need to find out how to unscrew and remove the entire oven from it's compartment to access the back of the oven and the wire for the temp sensor or can it be pulled through the hole into the oven's interior and worked on? I don't want to try and pull on it if this is the wrong way to get at it. Thanks for your time and information.
1 Answer Hello Jeff. Most of the time these can be done from the inside. If you remove it and pull it, there is a connector you will need to work through the hole. If the wires are to short, then you have to remove the back panel. Read More...
