Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Oven Temperature Sensor Probe (Part Number: OEM18042588)

1 Answer

Parsley, It would be recommended to check the wiring of the unit, especially at the terminal block. The top and oven are separate as far as operation and the top will not go through the control board. The common area for the top and the oven would be the terminal block and power supply.

Don for Model Number Kitchenaid KGST307HBL5

My oven says 350 degrees on the display, but when check it with a temp gun the temp gun says 225 for the actual oven temperature. It shuts off the flame like it "thinks" that it is at 350. I pulled the temp probe and it reads 1073 ohms at room temperature. I heat it to 350 and it reads only 1300 ohms, not 1600 ohms as stated that it should here. That would seem to confirm a bad temp probe, but isn't a low resistance reading at 350 degrees the opposite of what I should expect for this condition? I assume that the control board is unavailable so I don't want to go $62 plus tax and shipping into a dead end. Thanks.

Don, It would be recommended to check the sensor probe at the control board that way the wires are being tested as well. If the sensor checks ok, which sounds like it would be ok then the issue would most likely be the control board. The part number for the control board would be 9781980 and you can sent off to see about having the part rebuilt if necessary.

Hello Kevin. Oven sensor opened. 1. Unplug range or disconnect power. 2. Disconnect sensor from harness. 3. Measure sensor value (between connector pins) between 1000 ? @ 0° C (32° F) and 2697 ? @ 482° C (900° F), (room temperature approx. = 1080 ?). Also measure from sensor connector to sensor casing for possible short. If measurements do not correlate to real temperature, or if short is found, replace sensor. 4. Trace the wires and connectors to the sensor from control, and back to control. If wire or connection is damaged, replace the harness. 5. Reconnect the sensor to the harness. 6. Plug in range or reconnect power. 7. Press BAKE and START/ENTER. Observe for longer than 1 minute. If failure remains, go to step 8. 8. Unplug range or disconnect power. 9. Replace control.

Phowatt for Model Number Whirlpool YWFE710H0BH0

My gold series whirlpool oven recently experienced a runaway temperature condition and the oven shut down and would not restart. I got the message feature not available. I did the "CANCEL-CANCEL-START" option and it reported a F6E1 fault. In addition the following "M 258 E255-130" was displayed on the screen. I have disconnected the power for 1/2 hour and restarted. The oven how came back on and I tested the bake option at the 350d setting, it beeped when it reached the temp but continued to climb to 450d before I cancelled to test.+ Is the control panel toast? I have tested the temp sensor at the 400d reading and get 1655 ohms. I now have to wait to it returns to room temp before testing again.

Phowatt, With this error code it does appear that the control board would be the necessary component to replace. The part number for the control board is WPW10340304.
