Parts for Ge PGS960SEL2SS: 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.

• Heats when the oven is set to the "Broil" function
• Commonly used when the oven won't broil, the top of food isn't browning, or the element shows visible damage
• Works with the oven's broil control and thermostat to reach and maintain broil temperatures

• 1 broil element (upper oven)

• Disconnect power to the range at the breaker or unplug before servicing
• Handle element and terminals carefully to avoid bending or breaking mounting tabs
