Whirlpool 12001655 Oven Temperature Sensor OEM Part

Online videos made this seem an easy fix. I unplugged the oven and removed the rear panel, then found where the temp sensor entered the oven. I unplugged the sensor's electric connector. Unlike the videos, this sensor screwed in from the inside of the oven, so I had to remove the 2 screws inside the oven which hold the sensor in place. Then I pulled the sensor out, careful not to tear the insulation with the wires and connector. Then I just pushed the new connector through the same hole and screwed it down. Then I plugged the connector back together in back, and replaced the back panel.

After a bit of research, I found this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdaF7Q8sdjHc1j_VkTHCONw I ordered the replacement part from AppliancePartsPros.com, followed the instructions in the video, and completed the repair in less than 5 minutes. We have had no problems with fluctuating temperatures since completing the repair.

Replaced the oven sensor.

We ordered a new Oven temperature sensor over the internet. It arrived THE VERY NEXT DAY. This impressed me since I just requested regular mail. The instructions were very clear and my husband and I were able to fix it. We moved the stove out, disconnected the plug, removed 2 screws in the oven holding the part, disconnected the part from the plastic plug and did the reverse for the repair.

Magic Chef wall oven; F3 fault code during cleaning cycle occurred 2hr into a 3hr cycle. I hit some buttons on the keypad, then F1 occurred. I left the cycle complete, then checked the bake and broil still worked, and they did for the quick 5 minute test I did. A few days later the oven would not heat up for the bake cycle, although broil still worked. There were no fault codes. I checked the igniter glowbar first but it seemed ok. When I hit the bake button, the 'on' light lit up and the preheat light lit up for 2 seconds and went off. I figured something was telling the controller to turn off or that the oven temp was achieved. I thought the sensor might be bad since I got the F3 during the clean cycle. I tried to pull the sensor out to check it but I could not get to the connector so I screwed it back in. Then I got the F3 code. I checked the sensor wires at the controller board and figured it was an open sensor so I ordered it. When it arrived, I just kept carefully working the sensor wires through the oven wall holes to reach the connector. (I really did not want to remove the oven for this repair!!). I had to push the insulation out of the way. Finally I got to the connector, installed the new sensor, and oven is working great.
