316233903 Frigidaire Oven Temperature Sensor - Fix Temperature Problems & Uneven Baking | XPart Supply

The 316233903 Frigidaire Oven Temperature Sensor is the complete fix for ovens that won’t heat to the right temperature, overheats, or bakes unevenly. This genuine OEM sensor (RTD probe) measures the oven’s internal temperature and sends precise readings to the control board to regulate heating cycles. When this sensor drifts out of calibration or fails, you’ll see fluctuating temps, undercooked or burnt dishes, and unreliable preheating. Restore consistent results with a part designed to restore accurate temperature control from the inside out.

What this part does

Inside every Frigidaire, Electrolux, or Kenmore range that uses this sensor design, the RTD sensor monitors oven temperature and communicates with the control board to determine when to heat or cool. A healthy sensor keeps the oven on target during bake and broil, delivering reliable preheat times and even heat distribution across racks.

Common symptoms this sensor fixes

• Oven won’t reach or hold the set temperature
• Oven runs excessively hot or overheats
• Uneven baking and inconsistent results
• Food is undercooked or burnt at expected times
• Temperature readings drift during cooking
• Slow or inaccurate preheating
• Display temperature differs from actual oven temperature

Key features & specifications

• Part Number: 316233903
• Type: Oven Temperature Sensor / RTD Sensor Probe
• Compatibility: Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore and other ranges using this sensor design
• Condition: Genuine OEM part
• Function: Monitors oven temperature and regulates heating cycles for accurate baking

Why sensors fail (and why this one stands out)

Repeated exposure to high oven temperatures over years can cause the sensor’s resistance to drift, the internal element to develop breaks, or the wiring to lose continuity. This OEM sensor is built to resist such degradation and is designed for a straightforward replacement that restores precise temperature readings and stable cooking performance.

Installation guide (quick and straightforward)

1. Turn off power to the range at the circuit breaker.
2. Remove oven racks to access the rear of the oven cavity.
3. Locate the temperature sensor at the rear of the oven cavity and remove its mounting screw.
4. Carefully pull the old sensor forward and disconnect the wire harness.
5. Install the new sensor, reconnect wiring, and secure with the mounting screw.
6. Restore power and test the oven’s temperature accuracy across bake and broil modes.

Safety note: Always disconnect power before working on electrical components. To validate the sensor before final installation, test with a multimeter; at room temperature (approximately 70°F), it should read about 1,080–1,100 ohms.

Compatible models and fit

This temperature sensor design is used across Frigidaire ranges and is compatible with Electrolux and Kenmore models that share the same RTD sensor family. To ensure a proper fit, verify your model number and compare with the part to confirm compatibility before ordering.

Frequently asked questions

Q: How do I know if my oven temperature sensor is bad?

A: Use a multimeter. With the sensor removed and at room temperature (~70°F), it should read approximately 1,080–1,100 ohms. A reading far outside this range or a lack of continuity indicates a faulty sensor that should be replaced.

316233903 Frigidaire Stove Oven Temperature Sensor – Fix Your Oven That Won't Heat, Overheats, or Bakes Unevenly

The complete fix for a Frigidaire oven with temperature problems, uneven baking, or an oven that won't heat to the correct temperature.

The oven temperature sensor (also called oven sensor probe or RTD sensor) monitors the internal oven temperature and sends signals to the control board to regulate heating. When this sensor fails, your oven can't maintain accurate temperatures, leading to undercooked or burnt food, temperature fluctuations, and inconsistent baking results.

✓ Common Symptoms Fixed

• Oven won't heat to correct temperature
• Oven overheats or runs too hot
• Uneven baking or cooking results
• Food undercooked or burnt
• Oven temperature fluctuates during cooking
• Oven takes too long to preheat
• Temperature display inaccurate

✓ Key Features & Specifications

• Part Number: 316233903
• Type: Oven Temperature Sensor / RTD Sensor Probe
• Compatibility: Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore, and other compatible ranges
• Condition: Genuine OEM part
• Function: Monitors oven temperature and regulates heating cycles

✓ Why This Part Fails

The oven temperature sensor fails from repeated exposure to high heat over years of use. The sensor's resistance changes with temperature, and over time, the internal element can drift out of calibration, develop breaks in the wire, or lose electrical continuity. When it fails, the control board receives incorrect temperature readings, causing the oven to overheat, underheat, or cycle erratically.

✓ Installation Tips

Difficulty: Easy | Time: 15-30 minutes | Tools: Screwdriver, nut driver

Steps:

1. Turn off power to range at circuit breaker
2. Remove oven racks for access
3. Locate temperature sensor at rear of oven cavity
4. Remove mounting screw and pull sensor forward
5. Disconnect wire harness from sensor
6. Install new sensor, reconnect wiring, and secure with screw
7. Restore power and test oven temperature accuracy

Safety Note: Always disconnect power before working on electrical components. Test new sensor with multimeter before installation - it should read approximately 1,080-1,100 ohms at room temperature.

✓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I know if my oven temperature sensor is bad?
A: Test it with a multimeter. At room temperature (70°F), the sensor should read approximately 1,080-1,100 ohms resistance. If it reads significantly different or shows no continuity, it's failed and needs replacement. Also, if your oven consistently runs too hot or too cold despite calibration, the sensor is likely the problem.

Q: Will replacing the temperature sensor fix my oven temperature problems?
A: Yes, if the sensor is the failed component. A bad temperature sensor is the most common cause of oven temperature inaccuracy. However, if the sensor tests good, check the control board and heating elements as well.

Q: Can I calibrate my oven instead of replacing the sensor?
A: Calibration can help if the sensor is slightly off but still functional. However, if the sensor has failed (no continuity or wildly inaccurate readings), calibration won't help - you need to replace the sensor.

Q: How often should I replace the oven temperature sensor?
A: Temperature sensors typically last 8-15 years. Replace it only when it fails or shows symptoms of malfunction. It's not a regular maintenance item.

Q: Is this a genuine Frigidaire part?
A: Yes, this is a genuine OEM part (316233903), manufactured to factory specifications. It's the exact same part a service technician would install, ensuring perfect fit and reliable performance.
