TESTING AN OVEN TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Some oven controls use an oven temperature sensor (see Figure
1.Turn off the gas and electrical power to the range.
2.Unplug the connector from the oven temperature sensor.
3.Set the ohmmeter to the R x 10 position.
4.Touch the meter leads to the plug pins. The meter should indicate approximately 1100 Ω at 75 ˚F. For resistances at other temperatures, refer to the chart below. NOTE: The readings are approximate.
| Temperature (˚F) | Resistance (Ω) | |
| 32 | 1000 | |
| 75 | 1100 | |
| 250 | 1450 | |
| 350 | 1650 | |
| 450 | 1850 | |
| 550 | 2050 | |
