1.

Disconnect power to the oven.

2.

Open the oven door and locate the oven sensor (RTD) in the top of the oven in the center of the broil element.

3.

For serial code dates after D549, measure the oven sensor (RTD) and if its length is 2” or less, replace with the new oven sensor

supplied. See

Figure 1.

NOTE

: For double ovens, check both oven sensors (RTD).

IMPORTANT

: Failure to change the oven sensor as noted above will result in a call back complaining the oven is too hot.

4.

Replace the control panel assembly.

5.

Reconnect power and check the oven operation.

6.

Check the oven temperature.

Oven Bake Temperature Testing

•

An inferred temperature tester must not be used for oven temperature calibration.

•

The oven temperature needs to be tested with a High Temperature Tester that has a weighted or clip-on thermocouple.

•

The thermocouple needs to be place in the center of the middle rack.

•

The tech should allow the oven to preheat and the control to cycle the elements on three times before the temperature is recorded.

•

The actual oven temperature is the average of the high and low temperatures; a difference of up to 50 degrees between the high

and low is normal.

•

Set the oven at 350 degrees and record the high and low temperature points for 3 cycles.

•

Add these 6 temperatures up and divide by 6. This will give you the average temperature of the oven.

375 + 325 + 360 + 330 + 370 + 330

= 348

OR

2090 ÷ 6 = 348

6

•

If the oven temperature is off within 35 degrees follow the temperature calibration procedure that is located in the Use and Care

Guide or Tech Sheet to change the control off set.

7.

Replace all parts and panels.

8.

Reconnect power to oven.
