Check the oven sensor

Here is a good link

Ok, checked but here is another interesting problem. There is one large copper wire coming out of the insulation for the sensor and it was broken off from the oven control on front panel (typical control with L1 and BKE connections). How is the sensor supposed to work with just one wire!!??

Sorry but do not understand.

All the oven sensors I have seen have 2 wires going to the control and require 2 wires.
I cannot find any info on this unit so am at a loss.

Is this a very old unit, like an antique?
Does the sensor look like the ones in my earlier post?

Only thing I can think of from you description is that it is like a fridge thermostat. It has 2 connectors/studs and then a capillary tube that senses the tremperature.

Now that you know what you need, I would start another thread with perhaps the heading of "Need parts - Help"

Would also email or call AppliancePartsPros perhaps someone there may know a source. This is just a forum that they sponsor.

I do know that there are clubs of people who collect older stoves, try a couple Google's and you may find someone who can help.
