Customer Questions and Answers for Oven Temperature Sensor by Whirlpool

Hello Rafael, I'm sorry but this is only half of the error code as per the units' tech sheet. There are four failures under the F3 heading which are as follows: (1). E0 - Oven sensor open (2). E1 - Oven sensor shorted (3). E2 - Bake/Broil over temperature (4). E3 - Clean-range over temperature The manufacturer recommends the following procedure as a result from these codes: 1. Unplug range or disconnect power. 2. Disconnect sensor from harness. 3. Measure sensor value (between connector pins) between 1000O @ 0° C (32° F) and 2697O @ 482° C (900° F), (room temperature approx. = 1080O). Also measure from sensor connector to sensor casing for possible short. If measurements do not correlate to real temperature, or if short is found, replace sensor. 4. Trace the wires and connectors to the sensor from control, and back to control. If wire or connection is damaged, replace the harness. 5. Reconnect the sensor to the harness. 6. Plug in range or reconnect power. 7. Press BAKE and START/ENTER. Observe for longer than 1 minute. If failure remains, go to step 8. 8. Unplug range or disconnect power. 9. Replace control.

Hello Elvis. You will need to check the inline thermal fuse WP4451042 at the control board. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html

Mike, The most likely cause for the lower oven to not work would be a faulty control board on the unit.

Klhall, This issue would most likely be caused by a faulty control board in which the relay is sticking.

Randy, In most cases this would be a oven sensor that is going bad. The part number for the sensor is WPW10131825.

Kay, The oven sensor replacement for a wall oven would be similar to the freestanding range. You would remove the 2 screws and pull the sensor through. Once you get the connector through, make sure that you put something around it to keep it from sliding back through. Disconnect the connector and install the new one.

Hello Will. Test the elements in the unit and make sure they are good and voltage is good. If so, then the control board will need to be replaced. It sounds like the element is bad. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html

Curt, It is showing that the correct oven sensor for your unit will be part number WP4451665.

Hello John, The contacts in the broil relay have welded from the current flow from the short. The control WPW10119143 will have to be replaced to correct the issue.

Sammy, It's not likely a sensor issue, you want to check to make sure you have 240 VAC to the range and then check for 240 VAC across the wires to the element. Does the broil element work and heat properly ? you may have a faulty bake relay on the control or a double line break relay, which would not produce the proper voltage to the element to heat or cook properly.
