Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Oven does not reach the selected temperature
• Oven temperature fluctuates or is consistently too high or too low
• Temperature-sensor fault code
• Oven heating may stop or behave irregularly when the control receives an abnormal sensor signal

Check Before Replacing

• Disconnect electrical power before inspecting the sensor or its wiring.
• With power disconnected, inspect the sensor body, connector, harness adapters, and wiring for visible damage, looseness, corrosion, or pinched wires.
• If the appliance-specific technical documentation provides a resistance specification, measure the sensor across its terminals with the sensor disconnected; Whirlpool range service documentation commonly specifies approximately 1000–1200 ohms at room temperature, but the model-specific documentation should control.
• If the sensor resistance is normal, inspect the wiring path and connections before attributing the symptom to the sensor; the sensor test alone does not prove that the sensor is the cause.

Installation Notes

• Disconnect electrical power before service and allow the oven to cool completely.
• Use the model-specific installation instructions and confirm that the replacement sensor has the same short length and mounting arrangement as the removed part.
• Route and secure the sensor wiring so it is not pinched, contacting hot surfaces, or exposed to the oven cavity beyond the intended sensor location.
• Connect the appropriate included harness adapter only as specified for the appliance; do not modify wiring unless the appliance-specific instructions explicitly require it.
• After reassembly, restore power and verify operation according to the appliance documentation; a temperature-sensor replacement does not by itself confirm that other heating or control components are functional.
