The temperature sensor is used on all single ovens
and the lower cavity on double ovens.
On Café models, the resistance of the temperature
sensor can be checked from the rear of the range
after the rear cover has been removed. (See

On Profi le and GE models, the resistance of the
temperature sensor can be checked at the ERC.
Place the control panel in the service position.

Disconnect the wire harness from location CN2. On
the wire harness connector, test between the pin at
location 6 and the pin at location 8.
The temperature sensor has an approximate
resistance value of:
1100  at room temperature
•
1650  at 350°F (177°C)
•
2650  at clean temperature
•
