The temperature sensor on your oven detects the temperature within the oven cavity. If you notice your oven is too hot, not hot enough, or does not heat evenly, the short oven sensor kit may need replacing. This oven sensor is referred to as the short sensor and is 3 inches long. It should not be confused with the 6-inch-long sensor. The oven sensor is located on the back wall of the interior of the oven. Before starting this repair, be sure to disconnect the power source from the oven. If you are repairing a gas range, make sure to disconnect the gas source as well.

Lower oven would not ignite, upper oven heat was inconsistent
To replace the igniter, I removed the oven door, all racks, the cover for the burner element and the shield over the burner element. I also removed the back panel to access the wiring. Removal of these elements was easy and took only a couple of minutes. When I tried to remove the old igniter from the bracket supporting it, one of the

After removing the igniter from the bracket, I replaced it, ran the electrical to the back where the wiring harness was and reassembled the components.
As for the upper oven temperature sensor, it took 5 minutes. I removed the two screws holding the sensor in place and pulled it out which exposed the electrical connection. I simply unplugged it, and screwed the new one in its place. I then connected the wiring harness.
Oven wouldn't reach temp, gas smell and loud pop when gas would re-ignite,took 45 mins or more to reach 350' from starting temp of 100'
Considered calling a repair facility, after reading your tips and what parts should fix what problem I decided to fix myself. Moved oven out,slide in gas range.

oven igniter although lit up it failed to permit gas valve to open
ordered new replacement oven igniter kit and also felt it was a good opportunity to change the oven temperature sensor so also ordered short oven sensor kit. both parts fit as described as original replacements with very little work involved. oven worked properly good well done and a big saving on a service call repair or new range.

Had an F2 message go off then F3 when I tried to turn the stove on
Unplugged the old temp sensor at the back of the stove. From the inside I removed the 2 retaining screws. I taped a string to the old wire and pulled it through so I could pull the new harness through on the new sensor. When the new sensor arrived I installed it in reverse order. Easy peasy.

I replaced the heat sensor. It lasted one week. I got f3 , i replace the sensor again, a week later i am again getting f3 and sometimes f5 . What is wrong.
For model number CWG3600AAB
Hello Joe, Thank you for your inquiry. You may have an issue with your control board, you can test it with a multimeter to see if it has continuity. If you are unfamiliar with how a multimeter functions, there are YouTube videos available to assist you. The other issue could be with the wiring between the sensor and the main control board as that is what the F5 error usually indicates. Hope this helps!

The problem i have is that the oven burner will not ignite at temperatures below 425 degrees and will only stay lit for about 10 seconds. At that point, both the igniter also shuts down. What part do i need?
For model number CRG9700AAW
Hi Anthony,
Thank you for your question. If the oven is not heating correctly, then the issue is likely with the oven sensor 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. 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!

I had suspected the temp sensor, untill after i replace the pressures regulater. Than i notice the f3 error was coming on immediately and the igniter wasn't glowing
For model number CWG3600AAB
Hi Charles,
Thank you for your inquiry. The F3 error code is letting you know that the oven temperature sensor has either failed or shorted out. You will need to test the sensor with a multimeter to check the continuity of the part and you will also need to check sensor to see if the wiring is frayed or pinched. You will also need to check for connector damage. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Received an F3 message, replaced the temperature sensor but still getting F3. The wire coming through back of oven is old and the fitting is cracked - can i replace just the fitting or do i need to pull the entire oven out and replace the wire from the sensor to the control panel? Also - not sure if it matters but i replaced the igniter two weeks ago, working fine now. Also replaced the vertical door seal's but missing horizontal door seal.
For model number CWG3600AAB
Hi Mike,
Thank you for you question. Yes, it is likely that you will have to replace the whole wiring harness if it is damaged. You should be able to test your harness to see if that is the part giving you trouble with a multi meter. If this part does not fix the issue however, it may be your electronic control board that is the issue. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Tried to reset clock on stove got this error message 5ab6ath. Can not clear the error message and none of the other components will work. Help
For model number MGR5775QDS
Hello Eileen, thank you for your question. The "SABBATH" code is an indication that your range has been placed in "Sabbath Mode". This is set to disable the range for up to 72 hours for those religions that honor the sabbath. It can't be defeated by unplugging the range or turning off the breaker. You will either have to wait the 72 hour period, or locate the section in your owner's manual that explains how to turn that mode off. It should be listed in the "Operating Instructions" section of your manual. I hope this helps!

I received f-3 after unit was preheating after 10 minutes. Called in for service was told it was the control board which was not available. I was able to obtain one. I installed it but did not secure the ribbon from the control panel; also I think I connected the yellow and black wires incorrectly, nonetheless same symptoms. Oven came on but after preheating f-3-1 came on. Called for service again was told it was the sensor. I replaced the sensor. I installed the yellow and black wire correctly and secured the ribbon. Now as soon as I put on the power f-3-1 comes on immediately. The oven does not start up, I only get error f-3-1. Is it a defective sensor, defective board or do I need to replace the igniter?
For model number JGS8850ADB
Hello Ron,
Thanks for your question. The F3-1 code implies a shorted sensor. The wiring to the sensor may be incorrect or faulty, or the sensor itself may be defective. Consider testing the sensor with a multimeter for electrical continuity, and replace it if it shows no continuity. Otherwise, check the wiring and see if it is connected correctly to the sensor.
I hope this helps.

This issue has been happening for a couple of months. I set the oven temp to 400 or whatever and it stops heating at 100. I cancel it and try again and after several tries it eventually starts heating correctly. What part would you recommend replacing?Thanks
dennis
For model number GW397LXUQ06
Hello Dennis, Thank you for the question. I suggest testing the Oven 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 1000 – 1090 ohms at room temperature. Hope this helps!

Range lost power when power came back stove would beep keep beeping. Turned power off for 10 minutes when power was turned back on stove sometime beeps but oven will not work.
For model number JGS8850BDS
Hello William, thank you for your question. It sounds like the electronic control board has failed. The electronic board controls the oven functions, so if neither of the oven elements work, that is usually a good indicator that the board has failed. I would suggest replacing part number Electronic Control
