Oven Temperature Sensor
The oven temperature sensor can be tested from
the EOC. (See Control Board Testing.) The resistance
of the temperature is:
1100 • Ω at room temperature
1654 • Ω at 350°F
2650 • Ω at 865°F (Clean temperature)
The oven temperature sensor has a resistance
change rate of 2 Ω per °F.
To remove the oven temperature sensor:
Disconnect the power and remove the oven racks.1.
Remove the ¼-in. hex-head screw that attaches 2.
the sensor to the broiler element bracket.
4. Remove the oven from its installation and 3.
remove the rear access panels. (See
Oven
Removal.)
From the back side, disconnect the sensor 4.
wiring harness.
From the oven side, carefully pull the sensor and 5.
sensor wiring harness from the oven liner.
Note: When reinstalling the sensor, use a small fl at-
bladed screwdriver to push and guide the sensor
wire harness into the oven liner.
Broil Element
Note: The resistance of this component can be
tested from the EOC. (See Control Board Testing.)
The broil element will not work if the temperature
probe is plugged in.
The element is rated at 3400 watts, has an
approximate resistance value of 17 Ω, and draws
approximately 14.5 amps.
The broil element is located on the back wall of the
oven and can be removed from inside the oven
cavity.
To remove the broil element:
Remove the oven racks.1.
Remove the ¼-in. hex-head screw that attaches 2.
the sensor to the broiler element bracket. (See
Oven Temperature Sensor.)
Carefully pull out the sensor approximately 2-in. 3.
from the broiler element bracket.
4. Remove the fi ve ¼-in. hex-head screws that
hold the broiler element to the oven cavity.
5. Carefully pull and lower the broiler element
towards the front of the oven until the element
terminals are accessible.
6. Disconnect the wires from the broiler element.
