Compatibility & Fitment

• Compatible with Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Amana, Estate, Jenn-Air, and Roper ranges and ovens.
• Fits various freestanding ranges, built-in wall ovens, and slide-in oven models.
• Engineered for use in both electric and gas-powered cooking appliances.

When to Replace

• Oven displays temperature-related error codes such as F3, F3-E1, F3-E2, or F4.
• Oven fails to reach the set temperature or significantly overshoots the target heat.
• Food is consistently undercooked or burnt despite correct settings.
• Resistance testing with a multimeter shows an open circuit or values outside the standard 1100-ohm range.
• The metal probe shows visible signs of warping, corrosion, or physical damage.

Installation Tips

• Disconnect the power supply to the range or oven before starting the repair.
• Access the sensor from either the interior back wall of the oven or by removing the rear access panel.
• Remove the mounting screws (typically 1/4 inch hex head) securing the probe to the oven cavity.
• Carefully pull the wire harness through the hole; if the connector is not accessible, you may need to remove the back panel.
• Unplug the old connector and snap the new sensor harness into place.
• Re-insert the probe and tighten the mounting screws until the unit is flush against the wall.
