Description

This oven temperature probe senses the cooking cavity temperature so the range control can regulate heat for accurate baking and roasting. It replaces a failed or intermittent sensor to restore correct temperature feedback. What it does:

• Measures oven temperature and sends the signal to the control board for proper heating control
• Helps correct symptoms such as oven not reaching set temperature, inconsistent baking, or temperature error codes
• Provides the oven control with the feedback needed for timed cooking and self-clean cycles
• Replaces a damaged or open/shorted probe that causes incorrect temperature readings

What's included:

• One temperature probe

Install notes:

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before servicing to avoid shock
• Handle the sensor and connector gently to avoid damage; route and secure wiring as originally installed
• Reconnect wiring fully and verify secure connection; test oven function and temperature accuracy after installation
