W10131825 Oven Temperature Sensor - For Whirlpool Maytag KitchenAid Ovens

W10131825 Oven Temperature Sensor Replacement

Key Features

• Accurately detects and communicates internal oven temperatures to the control board for consistent thermal regulation.
• Constructed with a high-grade stainless steel probe to ensure thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance.
• Equipped with a standardized 2-pin quick-connect wiring harness for efficient electrical termination.
• Precision-calibrated to provide a resistance of approximately 1080–1100 ohms at room temperature (approx. 70°F).

Compatibility & Fitment

• Compatible with Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, and Amana ranges and ovens.
• Fits built-in wall ovens, freestanding electric ranges, and gas convection models.
• Designed for use in both upper and lower oven cavities in double-oven configurations.

When to Replace

• Appliance displays temperature-related error codes (e.g., F3, F3-E0, F3-E1, or F3-E2).
• Oven fails to reach the set temperature or significantly overshoots the desired heat level.
• Baking or roasting results are inconsistent, leading to unevenly cooked or burnt food.
• Oven does not heat at all despite the display and controls appearing functional.
• Multimeter testing reveals the sensor is "open" (no continuity) or provides readings outside the 1000–1200 ohm range.

Installation Tips

• Ensure the appliance is disconnected from the power source (unplugged or breaker tripped) before beginning.
• Remove oven racks to provide clear access to the rear of the oven cavity.
• Use a 1/4-inch nut driver or hex head wrench to remove the two screws mounting the sensor to the back wall.
• Pull the sensor and its wiring harness forward until the plastic connector is visible; if it does not pull through, access the connector via the rear panel of the range.
• Depress the locking tab on the connector to release the old sensor and snap the new unit into place.
• Re-insert the wiring into the insulation hole and secure the probe flush against the wall with the mounting screws.
