Whirlpool produces a diverse range of appliances across various brand lines, such as Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. They also create products for companies like Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. Among the critical components of their ovens is the temperature sensor, which is responsible for gauging the internal heat levels and relaying this data to the control board.
The sensor itself measures a little over three inches long. To perform a replacement, you will require either a number two Phillips or square-head screwdriver. The procedure involves carefully pulling the appliance away from the wall, disconnecting its power source, and removing the back panel to access the part.
