12001656 Oven Temperature Sensor - Pack of 2

Key Features

  • Precision RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) probe designed to monitor internal oven cavity temperatures.
  • High-accuracy thermal response to ensure consistent baking, roasting, and broiling performance.
  • Stainless steel probe housing provides resistance to corrosion and high-heat oxidation.
  • Includes two styles of plug-and-play wiring harnesses to ensure compatibility with varying manufacturer connector types.
  • Designed to maintain a standard resistance of approximately 1080 ohms at room temperature (75°F).

Compatibility & Fitment

  • Whirlpool: WFE, WFG, and RBS series ranges and wall ovens.
  • Kenmore / Sears: Models starting with 664, 665, 911, and 564 prefixes.
  • Maytag: MER, MGR, and MEW series.
  • Jenn-Air, Amana, Admiral, Magic Chef, and Roper: Various electric and gas oven models.

When to Replace

  • Inaccurate Temperatures: Oven runs significantly hotter or cooler than the digital display indicates.
  • Error Codes: Control panel displays "F3" or "F4" fault codes (common for sensor circuit issues).
  • Uneven Cooking: Food is consistently undercooked or burnt despite following standard recipes.
  • Sensor Failure: The probe shows "Open" or "Short" circuit results when tested with an ohmmeter.
  • Physical Damage: The metal probe is bent, cracked, or showing signs of severe pitting.

Installation Tips

  • Disconnect the appliance from the electrical power supply before attempting any service.
  • Access the sensor from inside the oven cavity by removing the two mounting screws located at the rear of the oven wall.
  • Gently pull the sensor forward until the wiring plastic disconnect is visible; take care not to let the wires slip back through the hole into the insulation.
  • If the provided connector does not match, use the included ceramic wire nuts to splice the new sensor onto the existing oven wire harness.
  • Ensure the probe does not touch the interior oven walls or the heating elements, as this will result in false temperature readings.
