Oven Temperature Sensor
The oven temperature sensor can be tested from
the EOC. (See
Control Board Testing
.) The resistance
of the temperature is:
1091
•
Ω
at room temperature
1654
•
Ω
at 350°F
2634
•
Ω
at 865°F (Clean temperature)
The oven temperature sensor has a resistance
change rate of 2
Ω
per 1°F.
To remove the oven temperature sensor:
Disconnect the power and remove the oven
1.
racks.
Remove the 1/4-in. hex-head screw that
2.
attaches the sensor to the broiler element
bracket.
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.
Disconnect the sensor wiring harness.

Broil Element
Note:
The resistance of this component can be
tested from the EOC. (See
Control Board Testing
.)
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.
To remove the broil element:
Disconnect the power from the oven and
1.
remove the oven racks.
Remove the 1/4-in. hex-head screw that
2.
attaches the sensor to the broiler element
bracket. (See
Oven Temperature Sensor
.)
Carefully pull out the sensor approximately 2-in.
3.
from the broiler element bracket.
4. Remove the four 1/4-in. hex-head screws that
hold the broiler element to the oven cavity.
5. Carefully pull, then lower the broiler element
towards the front of the oven until the element
terminals are accessible.
6. Disconnect the wires from the broiler element.

Note:
When reinstalling the sensor, use a small
fl

blade screwdriver to push and guide the sensor wire
harness into the oven liner.
