Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Oven Temperature Sensor (Part Number: OEM18034890)

1 Answer

Nancygn, the oven temperature sensor is part number WPW10181986. The sensor can be tested for resistance to ensure if it has failed. The error indicates an open sensor, and if the sensor tests for 1080O at room temperature, then the wiring would need to be inspected for any broken or bare wires. If the wire checks good, then the likely failure would be in the main control 4453608. Unfortunately, the manufacturer has discontinued the main control and it is no longer available. The replacement of the oven sensor is not difficult and the video found at the link https://www.appliancepartspros.com/whirlpool-sensor-rtd-sealed-wpw10181986-ap6016450.html#autoplay can be used as a reference for the repair.

Jostein, This issue F3E0 error is a main sensor open or shorted to the upper oven. You will wan to test at the control board the wiring and sensor on the P10 connector between pin 3 and 4 for a resistance of between 1000 and 1200 ohms of resistance. If this checks ok then the oven control would be the issue.

Hello Billy, This can be caused by a poor electrical connection, a bad temperature sensor WP8053344, a harness issue between the clock and the sensor, or a bad control 4389570. I'm sorry but this part 4389570 has been discontinued by the manufacturer and no satisfactory substitutions have been provided. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.

Stephanie, You can test the oven sensor which should read 1090 ohms at room temp. If this checks ok then the issue will most likely be a control board that is faulty.

Hello Catherine. Check the sensor wiring and if good, you will need to replace the control board on the unit. Thank you.

Rick, With the oven not working you will want to check to see if the ignters are coming on. If they are coming on then test to see if there is 3.2 to 3.6 vac to the oven safety valve. If the voltage is correct then the valve is faulty and if not then the igniter would be the issue.

Karen, F2 error code indicates a shorted key pad on the control panel WP8300428 and would need replacement. The non existent temperature display for the upper oven could have been due to a faulty oven sensor, but that should also cause an F3 error code in the upper oven(you didn't mention if the oven worked without the display), the presumption would be the LED display circuit in the oven control 8302967 for the upper oven has failed and the control board would need to be replaced. The control board has been discontinued by the manufacturer and is no longer available.
