Whirlpool 12001655vp Oven Temperature Sensor

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL 12001655vp is an OEM-style replacement oven temperature sensor designed for use in electric and gas ovens and cooktops. The temperature sensor monitors oven cavity heat and sends resistance-based readings to the control board, allowing the board to regulate the bake and broil elements or burner output accurately. A failed or drifted sensor typically causes temperature errors, runaway heat, or F-codes on the display. This part restores accurate temperature feedback and returns the oven to normal baking and broiling operation. Installation is handled by appliance repair technicians or experienced service professionals.

This sensor is suited for residential oven and cooktop applications where the original sensor has failed, gone open-circuit, or reads out of calibration. It is a drop-in replacement part intended to match the original connector, probe length, and resistance curve of the factory-installed component. Service technicians typically encounter this failure after diagnosing an F3 or similar temperature-sensor fault code stored in the control board.

Key Features

• OEM-style replacement restores factory temperature accuracy
• Resistance-based sensor compatible with standard oven control boards
• Designed to match original probe dimensions and connector configuration
• Addresses F-code faults caused by open or out-of-range temperature sensors
• Suitable for both bake and broil temperature monitoring circuits

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement temperature sensor for WHIRLPOOL residential ovens and cooktops. Refer to the original equipment documentation or the appliance model and serial tag to confirm fitment before installation.

Installation Notes

This part is typically installed by a qualified appliance repair technician. Disconnect power to the appliance at the breaker or by unplugging the unit before beginning any service work. The sensor is generally accessed from inside the oven cavity or through the rear panel; consult the service manual for the specific model to confirm the access path and mounting location. Do not apply power to the appliance until the sensor is fully seated and all connectors are secured.
