Parts for Ge PGS960EEL1ES: Upper Oven Parts

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.

This oven door gasket seals the inner edge of the oven door to help keep heat inside for even cooking and efficient operation. It replaces worn or damaged door seals that let heat escape. What it does:

• Forms a heat-resistant seal between the oven door and oven cavity to reduce heat loss

• Controls water and/or ice dispense signals to the dispenser control board or valve
• Commonly linked to symptoms such as no water or ice when pressing the dispenser, intermittent dispensing, or unresponsive dispenser lever
• Helps restore reliable electrical contact for dispenser operation when the original switch is faulty

• One dual plunger switch assembly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any work
• Shut off water supply if removing water-connected components near the dispenser
• Access typically requires removing the dispenser bezel or front panel to reach the switch; handle panels and connectors gently
