Description

This oven temperature sensor detects internal oven temperature and sends that signal to the control board so the oven can maintain proper cooking temperatures. Replaces a failed sensor to restore accurate temperature readings. What it does:

• Senses oven cavity temperature and communicates it to the control board
• Helps the oven maintain set cooking temperatures for consistent results
• Can cause incorrect baking/roasting temperatures or longer/shorter cook times when failing
• Faulty sensor may trigger temperature-related error codes or prevent proper heating

What's included:

• One temperature sensor

Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Handle the sensor probe and wiring gently; avoid pulling on wires or bending the probe
• Reconnect the harness securely and route wiring away from moving parts and high-heat contact
• Test the sensor and oven operation after installation; for resistance/voltage checks
