Customer Questions and Answers for Oven Sensor Assembly by Whirlpool

Hi Bob. You need to make sure the oven igniter ohms cold between 50 - 800 ohms. If open then this part # is WP8054129. Then if not then you need to use a clamp on amp meter and clip around one igniter lead at the valve. In 30-45 seconds it should draw between 3.2 - 3.6 amps to open for gas flow. The safety valve is part # WPW10293048. Thank You.

Hello Adam. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the electronic control 9762733 is bad and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps.

Adam, When you set the control for a desired temp. the display reverts back to 100 dgrs, then starts to heat and the display works it's way up to the set temp. This is normal. You are on the right track, a weak or damaged oven temp. sensor WPW10181986 , or loose connection, could be the cause of irratic temperatures and display, especially if you have no error codes on the display. Good Luck and Thanks

Hello Bevard8. The part you will need to order for the bisque control is 4453605. Hope this helps.

Hi Alex. F3-E0 Oven sensor opened - Top 1. Measure sensor value (between connector pins) between 1000 O @ 32° F and 2697 O @ 900° F (room temperature approx. = 1080 O). If measurement does not correlate to real temperature, disconnect power, replace sensor and refer to steps 3-5. Also measure from sensor connector to sensor casing for possible short. 2. Trace wires and connectors to sensor from control, then from sensor back to control. If all connections are made and no wire damage, refer to step 3. 3. Disconnect power longer than 30 seconds. 4. Re-apply power and observe for longer than 1 minute. 5. If failure remains, disconnect power, replace control, then go back to step 4. E1 Oven sensor shorted - Top E2 Bake range over temperature E3 Clean range over temperature E4 Oven sensor opened - Bottom E5 Oven sensor shorted - Bottom. Oven sensor part # WPW10181986. Control part # is 4453605. Thank You.

Hi Guy. You need to replace the oven dual safety valve. Part # WPW10293048. If your igniter is lighting and pulling enough current to open the gas valve, it should stay open and allow the heating circuit to heat. The clicking you hear is the regulator opening and closing. Also take the time to remove and physically examine the igniter. If it ha a crack in the center of it, it needs replaced also. Part # WP9758079. Thank You.

Hi David. The oven sensor will be able to tell the oven the temperature and then the clock relays will regulate the on/ off of the relays. If your oven has a F-3 code then the sensor is bad . Part # WPW10181986. The clock is part # W10114370, White. If the element does not ohm out between 18-38 ohms then your element is defective. Bake element part # WPW10308477. Thank You.
