Whirlpool WP4451665 Oven Sensor OEM Part

After inspecting the unit I noticed the inner oven box had four sections. The center section of the ceiling of the top oven had separated from the right side wall and had fallen to contact the top heating element. The gap created affected the Oven Temp. Sensor which caused the ven to shut off and the code to display. I repaired the ceiling and cleared the code. Problem solved. The parts I ordered the Oven Temperature Sensor and Oven Thermal Fuse which I kept as these parys are common failure parts as per many threads I've read. There replacement would require about ten min. of replacement time.

Pull the oven out far enough to remove the back metal cover. My sensor unscrews with two special machine screws from inside the oven. I have bad shoulders and couldn't grasp it without removing the door. Door removal was relatively easy except Whirlpool has three ways for different ovens and you have to find the correct method.

I looked up the cost of a new oven sensor...not cheap, but less money than a service call. I looked at the video associated with the part. I ordered the part. It was a VERY easy repair. I removed the old sensor, and installed the new part. I ran a check using an oven thermometer. Done...Easy peezy! Thanks Appliance Parts Pros.

Did it myself it was easy
