Oven Limit Switch WP74004530

Hi Robert, Thank you for your question. If the oven is not heating correctly, then the issue is likely with the oven sensor, sometimes called the oven thermostat, and you will need to check it with a multimeter. When testing the sensor with a multimeter, the sensor should be tested at room temperature and it should be unplugged from the oven. You will need to measure the resistance between the two prongs at the end of the sensor connector. Replace the oven sensor if the reading is less than 900 Ohms or more than 1200 Ohms. If the sensor is working fine, you will need to check the electronic control board, the elements, and the wiring between the parts to see what is causing the issue. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Hello Jean, thank you for your question. This Limit Switch for your model range is a safety device that shuts off the oven if it overheats. For the Broil Element not functioning, you may also want to consider replacing the Oven Sensor, part number PS1570174, or the Broil Element itself, part number PS2342087 for your model. Good luck with your repair!

Hello Sid, thank you for the question. According to our research, the high-limit thermostat is located on the back side of the range. You have to remove the back panel of the range, and then you have access to the high-limit thermostat. We hope this information helps!
