Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I ordered this unit to replace the temperature probe in my Sear's Oven because the oven would not keep an even temperature (it would wander by over 100 degrees from the set temperature). All of the online support sites for appliances said this was what the problem was.
Turns out, this was NOT the problem and is rarely what the problem is for most ovens according to three different repair shops I went to trying to get this oven fixed after trying the temperature probe. The problem turns out to be the temperature control logic (relays) and that part is NOT available. So, new oven time!!
This temperature probe comes with a fitting that may or may not fit your oven even if your oven was made by Whirlpool (the Sears oven was made by them). The solution if the fitting does not work is to cut off the fitting and use ceramic wire nuts to splice this probe in place. Most replacement temperature probes come with these ceramic wire nuts, but this kit does not. Ensure you use ceramic wire nuts and NOT plastic ones due to oven temperatures!!!!!
The part was sent in reasonable time and it does match what was advertised. This lower rating is because it does not fit a Whirlpool oven and there were no ceramic wire nuts included.
