Customer Questions and Answers for Oven Sensor Assembly by Whirlpool

Keith, This issue does not sound like it would be caused by the oven sensor. You can test the oven sensor to see if it is bad. The sensor should have a resistance reading of approximately 1090 ohms at room temperature. This will have a plus or minus 10% and if out of range then the sensor would need to be replaced. It does sound more like a keypad type of issue but the keypad comes as part of the control board which has been discontinued.

Hello Brian. It sounds like the key pad needs to be replaced on the unit. If the code continues after the key pad is replaced, then it may have damaged the temp sensor in the unit.

Hello Elliot, This is most likely a failing safety valve (AP5306380).

Hello Denise. F2 is a Shorted key. You will need to 1. Verify failure, if not displayed. Go to Diagnostics screen 5 A-Last Fault Code/ B-Cleared Error Code); and clear the error code by pressing the START key. 2. Unplug range or disconnect power longer than 30 seconds. 3. Plug in range or reconnect power. 4. Observe for longer than 1 minute. 5. If failure remains, go to step 6. 6. Unplug range or disconnect power. 7. Replace control. 8. Replace all parts and panels before operating. 9. Plug in range or reconnect power. 10. Verify operation is normal. Go to step 1 and complete checks.

Hello Liz. 1. Verify failure, if not displayed. Go to Diagnostics screen 5 A-Last Fault Code/ B-Cleared Error Code), page 3; and clear the error code by pressing the START key. 2. Unplug range or disconnect power longer than 30 seconds. 3. Plug in range or reconnect power. 4. Observe for longer than 1 minute. 5. If failure remains, go to step 6. 6. Unplug range or disconnect power. 7. Replace control. 8. Replace all parts and panels before operating. 9. Plug in range or reconnect power. 10. Verify operation is normal. Go to step 1 and complete checks.

Rich, The F2 error code is an indication that the keypad is shorted, that the cable is unplugged or that the cancel key drive line is open. You will want to check the keypad connector for firm connection to the control board. Press cancel and if error code comes back in 60 seconds then replace the keypad.

Hello Red. Test the temp sensor. If should read 1100 ohms at room temp and 1650 ohms at 350°. If good, replace the control on the unit. 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 DR, You will want to check from L1 to Broil with the broil turned on to test the control board for 240 vac. If no power on this test then replace the Control.

Hello Rita, The most probable cause of this complaint is the clock WPW10173537. The relays are the common failure on the board. These switch the elements on and off on the temperature information sent by the temperature sensor.

Dana, It's not likely to be an oven Temp sensor, That would usually produce an error code in the display. The issue could be in the ERC/Clock 8190201 but you may want to start by checking the wiring from the spark module to the gas valve, The DSI spark module WPW10331686 reignition circuit could be weak or faulty. The gas valve WPW10293048 could have a weak circuit in the solenoid assembly, and won't allow the ignition to occur after the solenoid coil gets hot from the power passing through it. Those are more likely than a sensor or control issue.
