4. Installation
Safety First: Always disconnect power to your oven before attempting any repairs or installations. Wear appropriate safety gear, such as gloves.
4.1 Step-by-Step Installation Guide:
- Disconnect Power: Unplug the oven from the electrical outlet or turn off the circuit breaker supplying power to the oven.
- Access the Sensor: Depending on your oven model, you may need to remove the rear access panel or access the sensor from inside the oven cavity.
- Disconnect Wiring: Locate the oven temperature sensor. Depress the retaining tab on the wire connector to disconnect it from the old sensor.
- Remove Old Sensor: Using a quarter-inch socket or nut driver, unthread the mounting screws securing the old sensor. Carefully pull the old sensor out.
- Install New Sensor: Insert the new 316490000 sensor through the rear panel or oven cavity. Thread the mounting screw(s) to secure it in place.
- Reconnect Wiring: Reconnect the wire connector to the new sensor, ensuring it clicks securely into place.
- Reassemble Oven: Reattach any panels removed during the process.
- Restore Power: Plug the oven back into the electrical outlet or turn on the circuit breaker.

5. Maintenance
The 316490000 Oven Temperature Sensor Probe is designed for durability and long service life. Regular maintenance of your oven, such as cleaning the oven cavity, can help ensure the sensor operates efficiently. Avoid harsh chemicals directly on the sensor probe.
Image 5.1: The sensor is made of 304 stainless steel for good thermal conductivity and durability.
6. Troubleshooting
If your oven is experiencing temperature-related issues, the oven temperature sensor may be faulty. Common problems include:
- Oven is too hot or not heating to the set temperature.
- Oven is heating unevenly.
- Oven will not start or preheat properly.
To diagnose if your sensor is faulty, you can perform a continuity test using a multimeter. A reading of approximately 1080 ohms at room temperature (70°F) indicates a functional sensor. A reading of 0 ohms or an open circuit indicates a faulty sensor that needs replacement.
