12001656 - Whirlpool Oven Temperature Sensor

This Whirlpool Oven Temperature Sensor (12001656) is a genuine part, designed for use in Whirlpool and Jenn-Air ovens and ranges. Also known as a "long oven sensor" or a "range oven temperature sensor," this component is akin to a thermostat as it measures and regulates the internal temperature of your oven's cavity. It features an adapter at one end, a probe approximately 7 inches long on the other, and an insulated wire connecting the two. Included with the sensor are two wire harness adapters and a set of instructions to assist in installation. This sensor can be tested using a multi-meter to ensure functionality. The specific resistance needed for proper operation should be consulted in the model-specific manual for your appliance. If you're experiencing inaccurate oven temperatures, difficulty baking evenly, or error codes related to the oven's temperature, it may be time to replace this sensor. Before purchasing, make sure to check your device's model number to ensure compatibility with this part.
