Description

This oven temperature sensor detects internal oven temperature so the control board can regulate heat for accurate cooking and baking. Replacing a worn sensor restores proper temperature sensing and can resolve uneven or incorrect oven temperatures. What it does:

• Measures oven cavity temperature and sends readings to the control board
• Helps the oven maintain set temperature during bake and broil cycles
• Common symptom: oven runs too hot, too cool, or cooks unevenly
• Common symptom: oven takes longer than normal to reach set temperature
• Tied to temperature-related error codes when failed

What's included: One temperature sensor Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock
• Handle the sensor probe and wiring gently; avoid kinking or stretching the harness
• Typically located inside the oven cavity or mounted to the back wall; access may require removing panels or racks
