Common Symptoms
- Oven temperature runs consistently too hot or too cool.
- Oven may stop heating or regulate incorrectly because the control receives an implausible sensor signal.
- An oven-temperature sensor open/short fault may be displayed, depending on the range model.
- Temperature-related baking problems can occur when sensor resistance is substantially outside specification.
Check Before Replacing
- With power disconnected, inspect the sensor wiring and connector for loose terminals, corrosion, heat damage, or broken wires.
- With the sensor disconnected and the oven at room temperature, measure resistance across the sensor circuit; approximately 1050–1100 ohms is a commonly documented room-temperature range for this part family.
- Compare the measured resistance with the model-specific service data or temperature-resistance chart; an open circuit, short circuit, or substantially out-of-range reading indicates a sensor or circuit problem, but does not by itself prove the control board is good or bad.
- If the sensor reading is normal, inspect the wiring path and connector continuity before condemning the electronic control.
Pro Tip
Test the sensor and its wiring before replacing the control board. A room-temperature reading near 1090 ohms is commonly expected, while an open, shorted, or substantially different reading supports further sensor-circuit diagnosis.

Primary FunctionMeasures oven-cavity temperature and sends a resistance-based signal to the range's electronic control so heating can be regulated.
Installation Notes
- Disconnect electrical power to the range before servicing.
- Allow the oven to cool before accessing the sensor.
- Remove and install the sensor using the model-specific service instructions; the sensor is mounted at the oven cavity and connects to the range wiring.
- Inspect the connector and harness for heat damage or corrosion while the sensor is accessible.
- Do not rely on a generic installation procedure if the replacement connector or wiring arrangement differs; verify the model-specific instructions before making any wiring repair.
- Restore power only after the sensor and wiring are secured, then verify oven operation without bypassing safety devices.
