Product Description

This genuine OEM part is a replacement sensor for your oven. The sensor works with the control board to measure and regulate the temperature in your oven. If the sensor has become defective, the temperature in the oven can fluctuate and read inaccurately. Other symptoms you may experience are little to no heat, or the oven getting too hot. The displayed temperature and the actual temperature can be off by over 50 degrees if the sensor is not working properly. You can use a multimeter to test if the oven sensor is faulty, and if so, it should be replaced. Please be sure to disconnect the power supply to your range before beginning this repair.

bake element burned out and small fire, after excitement, replaced bake element, no joy. Checked power, no breakers popped, surface and control works fine. Replaced thermostat still no bake, broil element heats fine. Checked thermal fuse, not blown. At wits end. Convection fan works fine.

Hi Ross, thank you for reaching out. We would recommend checking to see if you have installed the bake element correctly or not. If this is not the issue, then you may need to check the following parts: oven sensor, part number FIX11749737, terminal block, part number FIX11750972, and wire harness, part number FIX12578055. We hope this sorts out your problem!

Intermittently warm (not hot) oven recepies
I watched the install video, gathered up basic tools (#2 + screwdriver, flashlight, and cleaning rags. Turned off circuit breaker, placed some heavy cardboard under front base feet (no floor scratches) and slowly slid range out enough to gain access to rear panel cover. Removed all necessary screws and slid panel away to gain access to thermistor. Detached wiring connector, removed the two screws slid old thermistor out, new one in, tighten thermistor mounting screws and attached wiring connector. Slide oven back in place, turn on circuit breaker, set clock, and bake test batch of muffins. Worked like new. Celebrated with muffins and coffee - easy peasy!
