FAQs

This sensor is compatible with a wide range of ovens and stoves from Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Amana, Estate, Inglis, Roper, Magic Chef, and Crosley.
This part replaces OEM numbers WPW10181986, W10181986, W10131826, 8273902, PS11749737, AP6016450, 1394200, and WPW10181986VP.
Common symptoms of a faulty sensor include the oven failing to heat, the oven temperature being significantly inaccurate (running too hot or too cold), or the control panel displaying an error code related to the temperature probe. If you have a multimeter, you can test the sensor; at room temperature, it should provide a resistance reading of approximately 1080-1100 ohms.
Replacing the sensor is a straightforward repair that typically takes 15 to 30 minutes. You will generally need a screwdriver to remove the mounting screws inside the oven cavity. Always ensure the power to the range is disconnected at the circuit breaker before beginning the installation.
When installing, be careful not to kink or damage the wire leads. Ensure the sensor is securely mounted in the same position as the original, as the probe must be properly exposed to the oven air to provide accurate temperature readings to the control board. Avoid touching the sensor bulb with bare hands, as oils from your skin can sometimes affect performance.
