Customer Questions and Answers for Oven Sensor Assembly by Whirlpool

Matt, as this is an intermittent failure, the most likely cause of failure will be the main oven control WPW10477078 which can be verified by testing for 120VAC at the wire found on connection CON2 pin 7 during the state of failure. If there is not voltage during the failure, the control has failed. Unfortunately, if this is the case, the control has been discontinued by the manufacturer and is no longer available.

Mike, Thanks for the question!!! You have found it here!! WPW10181986 is in stock.

Don H, Based on the fact the igniter glows then the oven sensor and board are working. At this point, it would be either the igniter that is not drawing enough amps or the safety valve that is not opening. Check for 3.2 to 3.6 vac at the safety valve, if it is in range then the valve is your issue and would need to be replaced. If the voltage is not in range the igniter is weak and would need to be replaced

Bob, With the Broil element on, test for power from the power board on T2-2 and T1A-2 you should read 240vac. If the broil element and thermal fuse are good then it is likely a power board issue. Unfortunately, it seems that this part has been discontinued by the manufacturer & is no longer available. No alternate or substitute part has been recommended by the manufacturer. https://www.appliancepartspros.com/whirlpool-am-goc-elec-wp9761909-ap6014105.html

Hello Paul, This will be a fault in the electronic control board WPW10476353.

Gary, the oven temp. sensor isn't the likely issue, the oven should still heat or should produce an error code. You should read a resistance of 16 ohms(+/- 10%) across the bake and broil element terminals with the wires detached. Since you have 240 VAC to the range, the most likely problem is a broken or loose wire connection between the elements and the ERC/Clock. If that's OK then the double line break relay (K5) on the clock has failed and there is no L2 voltage to either the bake or broil element(s)

Gary, If there is 240 Vac getting to the elements but they are not coming on then the elements are bad. If there is power to the board but not out to the elements then the board would be the issue.

Warren, This issue would be a faulty control board which is part number 8190201 but unfortunately has been discontinued by the manufacturer with no suitable replacement available. You can check with a company called CoreCentricSolutions.com and see if you are able to get this board repaired.

Ron, You will want to check the oven sensor at the control board for the resistance of 1080 ohms at room temperature and 1654 ohms at 350. If the resistance check ok then the control board will be the issue.

Jake, with the power cord unplugged, it would be recommended that the bake element is tested for 24O and the broil element is tested for 16O of resistance. If the elements test properly, then the failure would likely be in the oven control W11122555. To ensure that the correct element part numbers can be obtained, the full model number would be necessary as there is a small difference.
