Range Fuse Or Sensor

The Thermal Fuse is an OEM part for GE ranges. This component is a safety device to protect the range from overheating. It is located in the electrical circuit and acts as a fail-safe to cut off the power supply to the range if it detects excessive heat.

Causes of a faulty thermal fuse can include power surges, overheating due to prolonged use, or other electrical issues. When the fuse blows, it interrupts the electrical flow, preventing potential damage to the range's sensitive components and ensuring user safety.

Symptoms of a bad fuse may include:

• The range not turning on or functioning at all.
• The oven not heating up or not reaching the desired temperature.
• The range displaying error codes related to temperature issues.

This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

The Oven Sensor Kit is an OEM replacement part for GE ranges. It contains critical sensors that monitor the oven's temperature, functions, and safety features during the cooking process. An accurate and fully functioning sensor kit is essential for reliable oven performance.

Causes of a bad oven sensor kit can include failures in individual sensors due to prolonged use and heat exposure over time. Electrical issues affecting communication between sensors and the control board may also require sensor replacement.

Symptoms of a bad oven sensor kit include:

• The oven not heating or cooling as expected
• Inability to properly select or maintain temperature settings  
• Error codes or failure messages appearing
• Safety features like the door lock not activating

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The Probe Thermistor is an OEM replacement part for GE wall ovens and ranges. Located inside the oven cavity, this temperature-sensitive probe precisely monitors interior heat to safeguard against overcooking.

Causes of a faulty thermistor involve exposure to excessive cooking temperatures, moisture infiltration from spills or steam, or basic failure due to old age.

Symptoms of an inadequate probe thermistor include:

• Inaccurate temperature readings and baking inconsistencies
• Oven temperature exceeding desired setting risking fire

This OEM GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The Temperature Sensor is an OEM part for Frigidaire ranges. It monitors and reports the temperature inside the oven cavity to ensure foods are cooked at the correct temperature. The sensor communicates temperature readings to the control board to regulate burner and heating element.

Causes of a bad temperature sensor can include faulty electronic elements, damage from oven spills or moisture intrusion, or sensors wearing out over extended use. At room temperature (70°F) the sensor should read around 1100 ohms. If your reading is 10% outside of that, the probe would need to be replaced.

Symptoms of a bad range temperature sensor include:

• Inaccurate or fluctuating oven temperatures 
• Inconsistent or uneven cooking results
• Food burning on one side of the oven or under/overcooking 
• The oven heating element running continuously without cycling

This OEM Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.

The Thermal Fuse is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens. It is designed to monitor the oven's temperature and automatically cut off power to the heating elements if the temperature exceeds a certain threshold. It acts as a failsafe to prevent excessive heat buildup and potential damage to the oven or surrounding areas.

Causes of a faulty oven thermal fuse can include a power surge, overheating, or electrical component failure. These factors can result in the thermal fuse blowing; interrupting the power supply to the heating elements and preventing further operation of the oven.

Symptoms of a bad oven thermal fuse may include:

• Oven not heating up at all
• Error codes or error messages displayed on the oven's control panel
• Oven appears to be powered off

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

This T.O.D. thermostat is a temperature-sensitive safety switch used in select ovens and ranges. It opens or closes the circuit at a set temperature to protect components and help restore safe, reliable operation when the original device fails. What it does:

• Monitors appliance temperature and switches the circuit at its preset threshold
• Helps prevent overheat conditions that can trigger shutdowns or error codes
• Common failure signs: oven won't heat or shuts off mid-cycle; cooling fan won't run or runs constantly; recurring over-temperature warnings
• On some models it controls a heating circuit; on others it governs the cooling fan

• 1 thermostat (T.O.D.), SPST

• Disconnect power at the breaker and allow the appliance to cool completely before service
• Access location varies by model
• Transfer wires one at a time to the new thermostat and mount it flush for proper sensing
• Inspect for blocked vents, a failed cooling fan, or shorted elements before returning the unit to service

This safety thermal fuse protects your appliance by opening the circuit if internal temperatures climb too high, helping prevent overheating damage and restoring safe operation when replaced.

• Monitors temperature and cuts power if an overheat condition occurs
• Common failure symptoms: appliance won't start, no power to key components, intermittent shutoff after heating, or blown/failed continuity on the fuse
• Helps safeguard wiring and control components from heat-related failures

• Disconnect power and shut off utilities before servicing
• Access location; note wire orientation for reassembly
• Replace if open/no continuity
• Investigate and correct the root cause of overheating (vents, fans, wiring) before restoring power

The temperature sensor is an electronic probe that monitors internal appliance temperature and reports it to the control so it can regulate operation. Replacing a failed sensor restores more accurate temperatures and can clear temperature-related error codes. What it does:

• Senses internal temperature via resistance changes and sends the signal to the electronic control
• Helps the control reach and maintain the set temperature during operation
• Common failure symptoms: too hot/cold, won't reach set temp, long/short cycles, temperature error codes
• Can cause preheat to stall or the unit to shut off early (model dependent)

• Includes: 1 temperature sensor

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Location and access vary by model; typically mounts with screws or a clip and connects to a 2-wire harness
• Handle the connector and wiring carefully; route and secure away from hot or moving parts
• After installation, clear stored errors and run a test cycle to proper readings

This line fuse protects the appliance's incoming power circuit by opening if an overload or short occurs. Replacing a blown fuse can help restore power once the underlying issue is corrected, preventing further damage to sensitive components.

• Interrupts line voltage when excessive current or a short circuit is detected
• Typical symptoms: unit completely dead, no display or interior lights, won't start or run
• Fuse tests open/no continuity with a multimeter when blown
• A blown fuse often points to another fault that must be addressed

• Disconnect power at the breaker/unplug before servicing; microwaves contain high-voltage parts that can retain a dangerous charge even when unplugged
• Replace only with the same type and rating as the original fuse
• Ensure the fuse seats firmly in its holders; do not bypass or jumper a fuse
