Oven Sensor WPW10181986

Hi Miguel, Thank you for the question. Sounds like you need to replace the oven temperature sensor. The sensor detects the temperature in the oven cavity. If the following symptoms occur, replacing the temperature sensor could be the solution: Little or no heat when baking, oven not heating evenly, oven will not start, and/or oven is overheating. Hope this helps!

Hi Richard, Thank you for the question. This sounds like an issue with the Oven Sensor, PartSelect Number: PS11749737.This oven temperature sensor, for ranges, works together with the oven control board to measure and regulate the oven temperature.Testing the temperature sensor probe on your oven is easy. With the sensor at room temperature, measure the resistance between the two prongs at the end of the sensor connector. The resistance of the sensor should read approximately 1080 – 1090 ohms at room temperature. Hope this helps!

Hi Greg, Thank you for your question. It sounds like you may want to replace your oven temperature sensor. You can test it with a multi meter to double check though. The part should read 0 when tested. If your meter does not move then the part is bad and needs to be replaced. Good luck with your repair.

Hi Jim, Thank you for your inquiry. To test your probe with a multi-meter. First you must set your meter to the lowest setting. Then calibrate your meter so that the needle is on zero. Disconnect the power to your appliance and then remover your sensor. At the end of your sensor, the little plug in has two separate holes on the inside. Take the probes on each end of your meter, place one in each hole. If your meter stays at zero, your sensor will need to be replaced. I hope this helps!

Hello John, Thanks for your question. Yes, this indicates an issue with the oven temperature sensor, and it should be replaced. I hope this helps.

Hi Chera, Thank you for your question. The F3 E2 error code senses the temperature in the oven is too high and that you may have a failed sensor. You will need to test the sensor 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. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Hi Ashley, Thank you for the question. You should be able to get a reading on the sensor since it is not installed on the appliance during testing, so if there is a short in the appliance it should not effect the sensor.Testing the temperature sensor probe on your oven is easy. With the sensor at room temperature, measure the resistance between the two prongs at the end of the sensor connector. The resistance of the sensor should read approximately 1080 – 1090 ohms at room temperature. If the oven is not coming on at all I suggest replacing the control board. Unfortunately there is no way to test the board its self but you can see if the board is receiving 120 vac. Hope this helps!

Hi Janey, Thank you for your inquiry. If the oven is not heating evenly, then you will need to check both the oven sensor and the bake element with a multimeter to verify which part is causing the issue. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Hello Marianne, thank you for contacting us. That code is telling you the electronic control on the range detected a high temperature in the oven. This can be caused by a defective oven temperature sensor or the electronic range control board. You can test the temperature sensor (probe) with a multimeter. Hope this helps!

Hello Don, thank you for contacting us. Yes, It does sound like the oven sensor could be at fault. You can test this with a multi-meter. Hope this helps!
