12001656 Oven Temperature Sensor

Key Features

  • Precision RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) probe designed to monitor internal oven cavity temperatures.
  • High-accuracy thermal response to ensure consistent baking, roasting, and broiling performance.
  • Stainless steel probe housing provides resistance to corrosion and high-heat oxidation.
  • Includes two styles of plug-and-play wiring harnesses to ensure compatibility with varying manufacturer connector types.
  • Designed to maintain a standard resistance of approximately 1080 ohms at room temperature (75°F).

Compatibility & Fitment

  • Maytag: MER, MGR, and MEW series.
  • Jenn-Air, Amana, Admiral, Magic Chef, and Roper: Various electric and gas oven models.

When to Replace

  • Inaccurate Temperatures: Oven runs significantly hotter or cooler than the digital display indicates.
  • Error Codes: Control panel displays "F3" or "F4" fault codes (common for sensor circuit issues).
  • Uneven Cooking: Food is consistently undercooked or burnt despite following standard recipes.
  • Sensor Failure: The probe shows "Open" or "Short" circuit results when tested with an ohmmeter.
  • Physical Damage: The metal probe is bent, cracked, or showing signs of severe pitting.

Installation Tips

  • Disconnect the appliance from the electrical power supply before attempting any service.
  • Access the sensor from inside the oven cavity by removing the two mounting screws located at the rear of the oven wall.
  • Gently pull the sensor forward until the wiring plastic disconnect is visible; take care not to let the wires slip back through the hole into the insulation.
  • If the provided connector does not match, use the included ceramic wire nuts to splice the new sensor onto the existing oven wire harness.
  • Ensure the probe does not touch the interior oven walls or the heating elements, as this will result in false temperature readings.

FAQ

This sensor is designed for use in ovens manufactured by Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Magic Chef, and Jenn-Air. It is a highly versatile component that fits a wide range of ranges and wall ovens produced under these brands.
This unit replaces OEM part number 12001656. It also cross-references with numerous other numbers, including AP4009009, 74004943, PS1570174, 12001554, 12001656VP, 7430P003-60, WB21X5301, 74003390, 74004471, 74005193, 12001357, 12500029, 704657, 71003083, 8189679, and 879368.
A faulty sensor typically manifests as inconsistent oven temperatures. You may notice your food is consistently undercooked or burnt, the oven takes an unusually long time to preheat, or the oven fails to reach the set temperature entirely. In some cases, the control board may display an error code related to the temperature probe.
Replacing the sensor is a straightforward repair that usually takes 15 to 30 minutes. You will need to pull the oven away from the wall, disconnect the power, and remove the back panel or the internal oven rack and mounting screws to access the sensor housing. Ensure the power is completely disconnected before beginning. The kit includes two optional wire blocks to assist with the connection if your specific model requires them.
These sensors are essentially resistance thermometers that operate in a harsh, high-heat environment. Over time, the internal components can degrade due to constant thermal cycling, or the wiring connections can become corroded or loose, leading to inaccurate temperature readings sent to the control board.
