Temperature Sensor

Hi Cyndy, Thank you for your question. Thank you for your question. If the oven is not heating correctly, then the issue is likely with the oven sensor, sometimes called the oven thermostat, and you will need to check it with a multimeter. When testing the sensor with a multimeter, the sensor should be tested at room temperature and it should be unplugged from the oven. You will need to measure the resistance between the two prongs at the end of the sensor connector. Replace the oven sensor if the reading is less than 900 Ohms or more than 1200 Ohms. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day! I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Hi Sandra, Thank you for the question. If both elements in the oven are not working at all, I suggest replacing the Control Board,Part Number: PS2368652. If the elements turn on but are not getting hot enough, then replacing the sensor should fix the issue. Hope this helps!

Hello Bee, Thank you for the question. The F10 fault code on your Kenmore oven indicates that the oven has overheated and the most common part replaced is the Temperature Sensor, PartSelect Number: PS11758156. If the sensor did not fix the issue, you may need to replace the control board, Part Number: PS11757779. Thank you for your inquiry, good luck with this repair!

Hi Karen, Thank you for the question. Yes, this is the same part. We may order a bigger stock in so we get a better discount on the item, this reflects in the savings we pass onto our customers! Hope this helps!

Hello Loal, Thank you for contacting us. There are a few parts that could cause this issue in your appliance. First I would say test your elements with a multi meter to see if they are working correctly or not. They should be reading between 0 - 50 ohms to be working correctly. The other part you should check would be your oven temperature sensor. That can also be tested with a multi meter and should be reading between 1000 - 1100 ohms. If those three parts are fine however, then the issue may be in your control board. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair

Hi Dale, thank you for your question. There are two ways to do the installation. From the front: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFZlbgMNZAc. And from the back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTDerTiSW4Y. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Hi Karen, Thank you for your question. If the oven is not heating correctly, then the issue is likely with the oven sensor, sometimes called the oven thermostat, and you will need to check with a multimeter. An oven thermostat is a switch that opens and closes in response to the temperature it senses. It is typically found in the control panel, where a liquid-filled temperature-sensing bulb senses and maintains the internal oven temperature by cycling heat on and off. Before repairs or testing can begin you must disconnect the electricity at the fuse panel, at the circuit breaker panel, or by pulling the plug. Make sure the power is off before proceeding. A jolt from 220 volts can be fatal, use caution! Access the oven thermostat, which is located in different places depending on the make and model: On freestanding ranges, access the thermostat by removing the screws that hold the back panel in place at both ends. On models with front-loading controls, remove the panel and tilt it for access. Be careful not to let the wires disconnect from their components. Some built-in models have a removable backsplash. Lift the backsplash, rest it on the cook top and remove the screws from the backsplash, which holds the rear panel. On wall ovens or eye-level ranges, access the control panel by opening the door and removing the screws that secure it. The screws may be under the exhaust hood or below the control panel. If the control panel is hinged, simply tilt it towards you. On some models both the rear and front control panels must be removed. The screws may be found on the trim and occasionally the trim must be removed. When testing the thermostat switch contacts for continuity, refer to the wiring diagram and remove only those wires being tested - and only one pair at a time. Test switch contact terminals as per your wiring diagram. If the switch lacks continuity at any of the contact terminal points then the entire thermostat switch needs to be replaced. Adjusting the thermostat: Test the oven temperature by placing the tester in the oven's center and leaving it for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Record the minimum and maximum temperatures of three cycles, then add those figures together, divide the result by six and you have the oven's average temperature. If the average temperature is more than 25 degrees off, try calibrating the thermostat by following your appliance manual instructions for thermostat calibration. Normally, thermostats are calibrated by pulling the oven's thermostat knob off, turning the knob over and adjusting the calibration ring on the back. If your oven doesn't have a calibration ring you may need to replace the thermostat. To remove the thermostat: Disconnect the capillary tube and push it through the back oven wall, being careful not to break the flammable capillary tube wire. Remove the screws that secure the thermostat to the control panel and gently pull the thermostat out, leaving the wires in place. To install a new thermostat, reverse the disassembly procedures (Step 7 above), transferring the wires individually from the old unit to the new. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Hi Lori, Thank you for your question. Most paper plates can be used in the microwave as long as they are microwave safe. You should consult your manual to verify the types of paper plates that you can use and when you buy paper plates check the packaging to see if they are microwave safe. If the display is not working, you will check the touchpad, the electronic control board, the wiring connections between them, the door switches and the fuse. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!
