The temperature sensor measures the temperature inside the oven. If your oven is too hot, not heating evenly, is not heating enough when baking, or simply will not start, you could have a faulty temperature sensor. A faulty temperature sensor can be a fire risk. If your sensor is not working properly, you should look to replace it straight away. A failed oven sensor is most often responsible for F3 or F4 error messages on electronically-controlled ovens. Make sure you disconnect the power to your range before you start your repair.

Heat Sensor for oven
The part did not fix the oven. The service tech said it was either the heat sensor or the control system and we decided to take a chance on the heat sensor. I think the end result will be a new oven. It wasn't the fault of the part.

Great Customer Service
I ordered the temp sensor and received it about 5 days later, when I went to install i opened the package and saw that the flange or piece where the screws go in was bent somehow in transit. I could see on the bubble wrap where it cut into it from the inner package. Something was put on top of this package that was pretty heavy. When I called and spoke to I think Ryan I explained the situation and he didn't hesitate to ask if he could send out a replacement unit which he did. I was surprised to see arrive in 3 days this time and was able to get it installed and get our oven working once more. Great Customer Service!!! Was very well pleased with how he handled the issue. the only thing was he didn't know if I should return the damaged unit, so I am just going to hold on to it for now unless you want to send a return package label to me. Thank you, Rick

Broil element burned out/temp sensor questonable
I followed instructions from the videos provided on the Part Select site. As with many such appliances, parts are interchangeable between brands. this unit is a KitchenAid but Whirpool,Kenmore parts interchange...Access from the front is all that's needed however and the only tool required was a phllips head screw driver...the only nega
... Read moretive surprise (which the video warned about but I ignored) was the risk of the element leads drawing back through the holes, which 2 did. Save yourself that trouble by securing the wires to the back oven wall with a small strip of duct tape until you're ready to re-attach them to the new element. This necessitated removing the oven entirely for access to the back; the most time consuming aspect being removing/replacing what seemed like 20 odd screws holding the back cover in place! If not for that mistake, entire job would have been under 30 minutes. Well worth the effort and would do it again!
Over heating oven and uneven baking. Oven thought it was in self cleaning mode.
Sensor replacement was removing 2 screws and gently pulling on old sensor until the clip comes out. Secured the other end of the wires so that it did not fall back inside. Then connected the new sensor clip to the oven wire, then gently returning wire into oven, and then screwing the sensor into place. The baking eleme
... Read morent was easier than the sensor. Removed the 2 screws holding the element into the back bottom of the oven, and pulled the element forward to disconnect from clamps. Inserted new element into clamps and screwed it in. ***NOTE that there will be a smell from the new element. This smell is normal. If the smell continues after a couple minutes stop the oven and wait an hour before reattempting.

When I turn on my top oven after about 5 minutes of preheating the door lock engages and i get the error code f3 e2. Do you know what can cause this? Thank you
For model number RBD245PDQ15
Hi Sean, Thank you for the question. The error indicates an issue with the Temperature Sensor. You can try to disconnect power or unplug the appliance. Check the temperature sensor wire to see if it is loose. Measure the oven temperature sensor resistance using a volt/ohm meter. If the resistance isn’t 1080 ohms at room temperature (70 degrees F), replace the oven temperature sensor. If the oven temperature sensor resistance and wire harness connections are okay, replace the electronic oven control (EOC). Hope this helps!

Hello Ellen, thank you for your question. Yes, it sounds like a temperature sensor issue. Measure the oven temperature sensor resistance using a volt/ohm meter. If the resistance isn’t 1080 ohms at room temperature (70 degrees F), replace the oven temperature sensor. If the oven temperature sensor resistance and wire harness connections are okay, replace the electronic oven control (EOC). Hope this helps!

Hello Amanda, thank you for your question. It sounds like you have a bad oven sensor. We would recommend testing/replacing this part. PartSelect Number: PS11748765. I suggest testing the sensor. Measure the oven temperature sensor resistance using a volt/ohm meter. If the resistance isn’t 1080 ohms at room temperature (70 degrees F), replace the oven temperature sensor. If the oven temperature sensor resistance and wire harness connections are okay, replace the electronic oven control (EOC). Hope this helps!

The element on this oven fried and needed to be replaced, so i ordered a new one from partselect and installed it. The oven would not come up to baking temperature as the preheating element shut off prior to getting up to temp. I surmised that the temperature sensor was likely damaged when the element was melting down, so i ordered that and replaced it. The oven still does not come up to temperature. What else could be the issue?
For model number KEMS308SSS05
Hello Dean and thanks for writing.
You might have to calibrate the oven. Check the manual for instructions. We hope this helps. Please contact us anytime.
