Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Oven temperature is inaccurate or fluctuates excessively.
• Oven does not reach the selected temperature.
• Temperature-sensor fault code may appear.
• Oven may overheat or underheat if the sensor signal is incorrect.

Check Before Replacing

• Disconnect electrical power before accessing the sensor or wiring.
• Visually inspect the sensor probe, connector, and harness for looseness, damage, or burned wiring.
• With power disconnected, measure sensor resistance using a multimeter and compare the result with the appliance’s model-specific service information; approximately 1050–1100 ohms at room temperature is a commonly cited reference for this sensor family, but the model documentation should control.
• If the sensor tests normally, inspect the harness and control-side connections before concluding that the sensor is defective.
