This step-by-step repair guide shows how to replace the gas oven temperature sensor on a range. The oven sensor measures the oven temperature and sends that data to the oven control board, which maintains the set oven temperature. If the oven 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 gas oven temperature sensor using a manufacturer-approved gas range part.
Use this procedure to replace the oven temperature sensor in many Kenmore, Frigidaire, Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, Amana, Electrolux, GE, LG and Samsung gas ranges.
