This step-by-step repair guide shows how to replace the temperature sensor on a gas wall oven. The sensor measures the oven temperature and sends that data to the oven control board, which maintains the set oven temperature. If the temperature sensor malfunctions, the oven becomes too hot or won't get hot enough. If the temperature sensor fails completely, the control panel displays an error code. Replace the oven temperature sensor using a manufacturer-approved replacement part.
The video below shows a gas range, but the basic repair is the same for a wall oven. Use this procedure to replace the oven temperature sensor in many Kenmore, Frigidaire, Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, Amana, Electrolux, GE, LG and Samsung gas wall ovens.
