The Oven Temperature Sensor is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens. It measures the oven's internal temperature and sends this information to the control board to maintain the desired cooking temperature. 

Causes of a bad temperature sensor can include exposure to high temperatures over long periods, electrical issues such as short circuits, or physical damage due to impact or mishandling.

Symptoms of a bad temperature sensor include:

• Inaccurate temperature readings
• Oven not heating to the set temperature
• Oven overheating
• Error codes displayed on the oven control panel

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This OEM Replacement Part is a bake element designed for Whirlpool electric ovens. It measures approximately 19 1/4 inches wide and 15 1/2 inches deep. The element extends about 3 inches past the bracket to the terminals. The element, positioned at the bottom of the oven cavity, supplies heat for baking. It features male spade connectors with push-on wire terminals. If your oven experiences uneven heating, lack of heat, or minimal heat during baking, replacing this part may be necessary.

Ensure the range is unplugged or the house circuit breaker for the range is shut off before installation. The element provides 2100 watts on 208 volts and 2800 watts on 240 volts. Removal involves unscrewing Phillips screws above the element brackets and detaching the wire harness without losing wires. Inspecting the wire terminals for any signs of arcing or burning during removal is recommended.
