Before we will proceed with the test and replacement procedures I would like to know why you believe there is a problem with the oven sensor.

I have the exact same range and I'm thinking I need the oven sensor also. The oven heats but does not heat to the temperurature indicated on the display. Both elements work. If I place an oven thermometer in the oven and set the oven to 400 degrees, the temperature gets to only about 200 degrees but the oven stops heating as if it thinks it's at 400 degrees. I'm thinking the oven sensor is bad. Is there anyway to check the sensor and is it easily replaced?

Thanks!!!

I believe it is JDP36GP1. I don't have immediate access to the unit, it is in my parents house.

Remove the rear cover, locate the two sensor wires coming to the control board and measure the sensor resistance. It suppose to be about 1100 Ohms at the room temperature.

If the reading is correct then the control board has to be replaced. Unfortunately this part is no longer available.

If the reading is wrong then located the sensor plug (where it's coming through the back panel), unplug it and measure the sensor resistance at this plug.

If the reading is wrong then replace the sensor.

If the reading is correct then the problem is a bad wire harness and/or sensor plug.

- The part number for the oven sensor is AP2023670
