Oven Running Too Hot, Too Cold, or Throwing F10/F30 Error Codes? The Temperature Sensor Is the Most Common Cause.
When the oven temperature sensor fails, the control board loses its reference point — the oven overshoots, undershoots, or shuts down entirely. Baking becomes unpredictable, error codes appear, and the oven may refuse to heat at all. The 316217002 is the genuine OEM replacement temperature sensor (RTD probe) for Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore, Gibson, Tappan, and Westinghouse electric ranges and wall ovens.
Symptoms of a Failed Oven Temperature Sensor
- Inaccurate oven temperature — running 25–75°F too hot or too cold
- Oven not heating at all
- Oven overheating or burning food
- Temperature fluctuations during cooking
- Error codes on control display: F10, F11, F30, F31
- Oven taking too long to preheat
- Inconsistent or uneven baking results
- Oven cycling on and off too frequently
- Control board showing sensor failure error
- Oven shutting off mid-cycle

💡 Pro Tip — Test Before You Replace, Calibrate After You Install:
Confirm the sensor is actually the problem before ordering: set your multimeter to resistance (Ω) and measure across the two sensor terminals. At room temperature (70°F) you should read ~1080–1100 Ω. An open reading (OL/infinite) = broken sensor. Under 500 Ω = shorted sensor. After installing the new sensor, use an oven thermometer to verify accuracy at 350°F — if it's off by more than 25°F, use the oven's built-in calibration function to fine-tune. This saves a second service call.

Installation Notes
- Skill Level: Moderate — requires pulling the range from the wall and working at the rear panel
- Estimated Time: 20–30 min (pro) · 45–60 min (DIY)
- Turn off the circuit breaker before starting — electric ranges run on 240V AC
- Allow the oven to cool completely (minimum 2 hours) before working inside
- Photograph the sensor wire routing and connector before disconnecting
- Do not overtighten the mounting screw — porcelain oven walls crack easily
- Position the probe 2–4 inches into the oven cavity, away from heating elements and walls
- Verify the wire connector clicks fully into place after reconnecting
