Frigidaire 316490000 Oven Temperature Sensor Probe

Product Description

The FRIGIDAIRE 316490000 is an oven temperature sensor probe designed to monitor and regulate heat inside a residential electric or gas oven. The sensor measures changes in thermal resistance and transmits signals to the oven control board, which in turn directs the heating elements or burner to maintain a set cooking temperature. Accurate temperature regulation prevents overcooking and undercooking, and protects the oven cavity from thermal extremes. This part is typically installed by appliance service technicians during diagnostic or preventive maintenance calls.

The 316490000 sensor probe is suited for residential range and wall oven applications. It mounts inside the oven cavity, typically at the rear wall, and connects to the electronic oven control through a low-voltage circuit. Units showing erratic temperature swings, failure to reach set temperature, or F-code faults related to sensor resistance are common indicators that this component requires replacement.

Key Features

• Monitors oven cavity temperature by measuring changes in thermal resistance
• Sends resistance-based signals to the oven control board to regulate heating output
• Supports consistent, accurate cooking temperatures in residential ovens
• OEM-style replacement for reliable fit and function
• Direct plug-in connector simplifies installation and reduces wiring error

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement temperature sensor probe for compatible FRIGIDAIRE residential ranges and wall ovens. Consult the appliance model number and service documentation to confirm fitment before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified appliance service technician. Disconnect power to the range or wall oven at the circuit breaker before servicing any internal components. The sensor probe is typically secured with one or two screws at the oven rear wall and connects to the control harness via a plug-in connector. Verify sensor resistance with a multimeter against the manufacturer service specification before and after installation to confirm the new probe is functioning correctly.
