Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Oven Temperature Sensor (Part Number: OEM12027036)

1 Answer

Hello Mary, You should first check the oven sensor 12001656. This should read about 1100O at about 70°F. If good, the issue is most likely in the clock assembly. If the serial number begins with 14 or lower you would need 71002331. If the serial number begins with 15 or higher you will need WP74004746.

Hello Shannon, the model number you provided is showing as valid but to answer your question,is it is not hard at all. First look in the oven and see if the sensor has 2 screws holding it in place ,if no screws then the probe is mounted on the rear outside of the oven liner,turn off power to the oven, pull it out far enough to access the rear area, unscrew the screws holding the rear outer cabinet panel,once off you will see the sensor, its just 2 screws and a wire harness disconnect plug.

Hello James, the F2 code is an oven overheat code caused by the broil element coming on full in a bake cycle, that would be caused by the broil element relay on the control or relay board sticking closed. We would need the wall oven's model number to assist you further.

Harriette, you will need to access your door switch to check the microswitch from COM to NO, plunger in, you should read continuity, plunger out, no continuity. If the switch checks ok, you will need to replace the control board. Part number for the switch is 74001802, control board is 74009320.

midnightrider2, you can wire the oven sensor direct without using a plug. Make sure to get a good splice and then use ceramic wire nuts or a good insulator to protect the splice.

Rusty, first I would check the oven sensor in the bottom oven to see if it is reading temperature correctly. It should read about 1080 ohms at room temperature. If it is off by more than 10%, replace the sensor. If the sensor is correct, You will need to replace the main control, part number for the control is WP5701M796-60, the sensor is part number WP7430P044-60

John, most control boards can be re-calibrated if the temperature is 20-30 degrees off, the directions for re-calibration should be in your Use and Care manual. If it is reading temperatures greater than that, you would need to replace the main control board, especially since you have already replaced the oven sensor. Part number is W11567368

Wayne, Always check your house wiring at the terminal on the back to make sure 240 vac present at l1 and l2.The only other thing is a thermal protector that would stop voltage to elements located behind door lock that would need tested for continuity.If failed test replace part # 74008265
