Customer Questions and Answers for Oven Sensor Assembly by Whirlpool

Victoria, thank you for asking, Disconnect the sensor from the harness, then measure the sensor value. It should read between 1000 O @ 32°F & 2697 O @ 900°F & at room temperature, it should read approx. = 1080 O. Also, measure from the sensor connector to the sensor casing for a possible short. If the measurement does not correlate to real temperature, or if a short is found, replace the sensor. Then check the wires and the connectors from the sensor back to the control, replacing any that are damaged or shorted. After completing all of this, if the issue continues, replace the control.

Bob, this is going to indicate a shorted key failure and the oven control W11126814 would be the cause of failure.

John W, Start by using the tech sheet supplied with your machine and place it into the diagnostic mode, checking for error codes. Correct as indicated.

Wayne, This issue will be an overtemperature when heating. You will want to test the oven sensor for resistance between 1000 and 1200 ohms. If the resistance is bad then replace the sensor and if it is good then replace the control board.

Sorry no video for the conversion but here is a video for trouble shooting the oven issue: https://youtu.be/Auk1szdjJ50

David, when the unit stops heating (and temperature is more than 30 below the set temperature), the main control WPW10413072 would need to be tested for 120VAC using the wire at the connection CON2 pin 7 (red wire with white stripe). If there is not 120VAC, the failure would be in the main control.

Walter, the oven sensor WPW10181986 should measure between 1080 to 1100 Ohms of resistance at room temperature.

Matt, We will need to have the model number of your unit to be able to assist with your question. Please resubmit your question with the model.

Hello Gary, You should first check the terminal block where the cord connects to the back of the range. Unplug it and see if the connections are tight and make sure they are not burned. If not, check the prongs of the cord that plug into the outlet. If there is a small black spot, the wall outlet and power cord will need to be replaced. If you find no problems there, the issue would most likely be in the control W10840298.

RMELINE, Based on the information provided I would start with checking the resistance of the probe. If it is within specs then the board would be the issue.
