Oven Temperature Sensor - GE PT920 Technical Service Manual

Oven Temperature Sensor

The oven temperature sensor can be tested from
the EOC. (See
Control Board Testing
of the temperature is:
Ω at room temperature
• 1091
Ω at 350°F
• 1654
Ω at 865°F (Clean temperature)
• 2634
The oven temperature sensor has a resistance
change rate of 2 Ω per 1°F.
To remove the oven temperature sensor:
1. Disconnect the power and remove the oven
racks.
2. Remove the 1/4-in. hex-head screw that
attaches the sensor to the broiler element
bracket.
3. Carefully pull the sensor and sensor wiring
harness from the oven liner.
Note: The wires may be caught up under the broiler
element terminal. The broiler element terminal may
need to be loosened.
4. Disconnect the sensor wiring harness.
Note: When reinstalling the sensor, use a small fl at-
blade screwdriver to push and guide the sensor wire
harness into the oven liner.

The broil element will not work if the meat probe is
plugged in.
The element is rated at 2400 watts, has an
approximate resistance value of 24 Ω, and draws
approximately 11 amps.
The broil element is located on the back wall of the
oven and can be removed from inside the oven
cavity.
