Customer Questions and Answers for Oven Sensor Assembly by Whirlpool

Jeff, Yes the oven sensor WPW10181986 will work for a whirlpool range. To be able to determine if it is the one that your range calls for we would need to have the model number of the range. Please post your model number with a new question on the parts page. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/modelnumber_locator.aspx

Hello painteddi. Test the sensor. It should read 1100 ohms at room temp and 1650 at 350°. If it is good, then replace the control board.

DC, If you are looking in the owners manual and doing a calibration then the display will read ---. This means that there has been no adjustment made. If the control panel is reading hot when the unit is in the off position then the oven sensor may not be reading properly. Test the sensor for 1090 ohms at 77 degrees, it is plus 2 ohms for every degree higher than 77 and -2 ohms for every degree lower. If the sensor is not within range then replace the sensor.

Mary, The 3 beeps would be a invalid key push or reminding to push start button. If this is not the case then the issue will most likely be caused by a faulty circuit in the control board which is part number WPW10335164.

Hello Charles. Shorted key. 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.

Hello Chris. You will need to test the valve assembly WPW10293048. When you place your meter leads across the center terminal, and each outside terminal you should have a resistance of 216 ohms resistance on each test. With the wires attached to the terminals, you should have a DC Volt reading of 8 to 18 VDC from the DSI spark module, when the oven is attempting to ignite.

Hello Judy. You will need to order and replace the clock assembly on the unit.

Hello Bethup, This is most likely the gas valve WPW10293048 failing.

Hello Len, If you are getting 240Vac to the unit properly, this sounds like a failure of a relay on the board. We could give a more detailed diagnosis if we could please ask you to provide the full model number from the units' I.D. tag. The model number you provided does not come up as valid so we could not pull a wiring diagram for your unit.

Hello Cory. 1. Unplug range or disconnect power. 2. Disconnect sensor from harness. 3. Measure sensor value (between connector pins) between 1000 ? @ 32°F (0°C) and 2697 ? @ 900°F (482.2°) (room temperature approx. = 1080 ?). Also measure from sensor connector to sensor casing for possible short. If measurement does not correlate to real temperature, or if short is found, replace sensor. 4. Trace wires and connectors to sensor from control, then back to control. If wire or connection is damaged, replace the harness. 5. Reconnect the sensor to the harness. 6. Replace all parts and panels before operating. 7. Plug in range or reconnect power. 8. Press BAKE and START/ENTER. Observe for longer than 1 minute. If failure remains, go to step 9. 9. Unplug range or disconnect power. 10. Replace control. 11. Replace all parts and panels before operating. 12. Plug in range or reconnect power. 13. Verify operation is normal. Go to step 1 and complete checks.
