My Whirlpool Polara is intermittently giving me an error code that would indicate a problem with the oven temperatures. I have gone in and tested both the top and the bottom oven sensors and got the following results:
TOP BOTTOM
RT: 1.082 1.082
350 1.331 1.322
400 1.782 1.751

It seems like the sensors are all working, and was wondering what else I could check to make sure i am doing the correct repair.

Your oven sensor readings look abnormal.
The 350 degree readings seem low, see the below link.

Were they tested connected to the control board or disconnected from itr.
Very unlikely that two sensors would go bad at the same time.

What is the error code?

The sensors were disconnected when I tested them and the error codes are E0:F3 and E0:F4.

See the attachment for the tech sheet.

Not sure what the E0F4 is as it is not on the sheet.

I would check the connection to the common of the sensors on the control board.

Also chck for a cold solder joint on the back of the control board in the area where the sensors connect. Cold solder joints are often a duller silver and may have pin holes. Try gently wiggling the connector to if it's legs move in the solder.
A magnifying glass is useful for the above.

If all OK then odds are that the control board is toast.
