KDRS462VSS02 KitchenAid Range - Instructions

Disconnect the sensor harness and checked resistance on the sensor,should read around 1100 ohm I only got 25.The sensor is mounted in the oven cavity back wall below upper element,the door must be removed. Unscrew 2 Philips head screw,unhook the harness,install new sensor,reconnect harness,install screws.

I found that what was keeping the old temp sensor electrical connection attached to the stove-side connection was a little tab. It wasn't obvious that that was the thing that was keeping the connection secure but there weren't any other alternatives. So pushing the tab up with the metal probe (just a narrow rigid metal wire) allowed me ... Read more to pull the connection apart.

All this takes place way at the back of the oven so its difficult to fiddle with a screwdriver and the retaining screws at arms length. Putting a bit of scotch tape around the screw to keep it attached to the screwdriver kept it from falling off. My hand was a bit shaky extended like that so that was the way to go.

Bottom line, if your oven won't reach or hold the temp you dial in on the control panel it's the temperature sensor. Now if I set it for 300 deg. that's what I get.

Disconnect power and turn off gas. Remove all grills, knobs and burners. Under the burners are 2 Phillips head screws. Remove all 10 screws. Remove surface plate. Remove the one igniter with problem. There is a small metal clip holding it in place. Remove the wire. Install new ignitor and reverse all steps above.

problem solved

Pulled the stove out, unscrewed the back and plugged the new thermostat in. Screwed the back back on

Switched spark module from one of the other burners to see if it would work and it did (presto)process of elimination and being in the propane business for 32 years helped

just needed clearner for the top of my glass top, the operator was very helpful I received my clearniner in 7 days thank you

Taking off the glass lense for the light bulb was harder than I thought. It unscrews counterclockwise, but it was very hard to get off. It would not turn. I ended up using connector pliers I use for work, that has rubber jaws. The lense unscrewed very easy with it. Light also unscrews out. PartSelect.com is the only way to go to buy parts ...

Unwrapped the package, plugged the probe into the oven, stuck the other end into the chicken.

remove two screws then unplug the wires put the wires back on the new one

Removed the therminal block and put the new one in.Using a screwdriver, very easy repair.

This was very straight forward. Once the sheet metal shroud on the back side was removed just had to undo the one remaining wire, remove the block, and reassemble. Only question I had was which wires went where. The Wiring Block was melted due to the short and the wires were no longer attached. Did a quick google for a typical oven three- ...
