Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Oven Temperature Sensor (Part Number: OEM18049359)

1 Answer

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.

Carolyn, you have a few tests to run. First, check your incoming power to the stove to be sure you have 240v. If so find your wiring diagram and see if the clock/control is getting 120v. If so replace the clock, if not check that diagram for any thermal cutoffs or fuses that are in line before the clock power. One of those could have failed to cause loss of power to the display/control.

Hello, James. Get to the oven sensor disconnect plug and check the plug itself. Then check the sensor's resistance. At room temperature is should be around 1100 Ohms. It it's way off then replace the oven sensor p/n AP6016450. Thank you.

Hello Joe, according to that code the control board cannot read the temperature in the oven through the temp sensor. Using a multimeter check the oven temp sensor for about 1090 ohms at room temp, next check the temp sensor wiring to the control board, if both check ok replace the control board.

Hello Marge, I'm sorry but we do not have a video for that specific model. The temperature sensor is accessed inside the bake compartment and you remove the two screws to remove it. You will then carefully pull on it and carefully fish the connector through the opening. If it comes loose behind the panel you will have to pull the unit out and access it by removing the rear panel of the range.

Hello AP, if the oven bake burner comes consistently when the oven is cold, and the problem only occurs with hot oven, check the oven door is holding in the light switch. If ok then inspect/clean the mounting of the bake burner to the chassis. Clean area with light sandpaper and snug mounting screw but do not strip it. Retest oven.

Hello Donna, the fault code is for an oven over-temperature condition, in bake mode, the broil element relay located on the main control board is stuck closed, the repair would be to replace the control board W11267090.

Randy, The model number you supplied is incorrect or incomplete. But, based on your information the oven temperature sensor would be a very good and logical place to start. The sensor can lose its calibration with age, usage and high heat cycles or numerous self-clean cycles. The temp. sensor would be the place to start. Thanks,

Irene, If you pull the unit out and remove the rear panel, check the oven sensor by disconnecting the connector that has 2 violet or purple wires going into it and test the 2 purple wires for resistance of 1090 ohms at room temp. If the resistance is good then this will likely be a control board issue.
