Samsung Range Sensors

This long oven sensor is also commonly known as a temperature sensor. It is designed for use with ovens and ranges. It is similar to a thermostat; it measures and regulates the internal temperature of your oven cavity. There is an adapter at one end, a probe at the other, and they are connected by an insulated wire. The probe is approximately 7 inches long. You can test the sensor with a multi-meter for functionality. You need to check the model-specific manual to determine what the proper resistance is for your specific appliance. This oven sensor comes with two wire harness adapters and a set of instructions.

This is a range temperature sensor, used to detect the interior temperature of your oven when it is baking or cooking. If you notice your oven is baking unevenly or at inconsistent temperatures, will not start or has too little or too much heat, it is likely that the temperature sensor is bad, or defective. This temperature sensor features a 3.9-inch-long probe, 3.2-inch-long wire harness, and 1.7-inch-wide support bracket. Replacing this sensor is fairly simple but will require a screwdriver, wrench and drill with the appropriate Philips-head bit. Disconnect your range from the wall outlet and pull it out from the wall. Removing your range door is not necessary, but will make removing the sensor that much easier. You will now locate your temperature sensor, which will likely be near the heating element at the top/bottom of the oven. Remove any securing screws holding the heating element and/or sensor in place. At the rear of the range, disconnect and remove the rear panel to gain access to the electronics of the range. Disengage the sensor and its locking tabs, and may also require you to disconnect the terminals for the heating element if your temperature sensor is fastened to it. Remove the sensor and heating element (if necessary). If the sensor is connected to the heating element, use a wrench to unfasten it. Now you install the new temperature sensor and reassemble your oven, ensuring that wire terminals are connected correctly.

This oven temperature sensor monitors the temperature inside the oven and sends that information to the control board, helping maintain accurate and consistent cooking temperatures. It plays an important role in proper oven operation and helps ensure food cooks evenly. If the oven is overheating, not heating properly, displaying temperature-related error codes, or producing inconsistent cooking results, a faulty temperature sensor may be the cause. Replacing the sensor can help restore accurate temperature control and reliable oven performance. Before replacing the sensor, testing it with an ohm meter can help confirm whether it is defective.

Help the oven heat more evenly with this temperature sensor for select ranges, wall ovens, and microwave oven combos, a bad sensor can send the wrong heat reading, which may cause poor baking, long preheat times, or heat that does not shut off when it should, disconnect power before repair, use the exact model number to confirm fit.
