• Surface element switch. The surface element switch (also called a surface burner switch or infinite burner switch) is mounted on the control panel of an electric range or cooktop. It's an electrical switch that turns on and off the associated surface element and also controls the how much heat the element produces.
• Thermal fuse. Many ovens have a bi-metal thermal fuse that protects the oven from overheating. The oven thermal fuse trips when the controls aren't working properly and the temperature in the oven gets too hot.
• Relay control board. Some ranges have a relay control board that's separate from the timer and control board. The relay board has electrical relays (switches) that control voltage going to major loads such as the bake element or a surface element, based on signals from the control board.
• Radiant surface element. The radiant surface element is mounted on the bottom of a ceramic glass cooktop and provides heat for that area of the cooktop. It's controlled by a surface element switch (also called a surface burner switch or infinite burner switch). The radiant surface element has a limit switch that shuts off the element to protect the ceramic glass cooktop from overheating.
• Oven door light switch. The oven door light switch is a plunger switch on the frame of the oven above the opening to the oven. The oven door pushes the oven light switch plunger in when the door is closed to turn the light off. When the door is open, the plunger is released and the light is on.

How to replace the oven temperature sensor in your JennAir electric range

• Shut off electrical power to the range.
• Remove the oven racks.
• Remove the screws from the base of the temperature sensor probe.
• Carefully pull the oven temperature sensor probe forward into the oven interior. The wires connected to the probe have enough slack that you can pull it a just few inches. Holding the connector with needle-nose pliers, depress the locking tab on the plug and disconnect the plug from the sensor probe. Don't let the connector slip back through the hole, or you must remove the back panel of the oven to retrieve it.
• While holding the connector with a pair of needle-nose pliers, snap it into the plug of the new probe. Push the wire into back wall of the oven. Position the new sensor probe and line up the holes for the mounting screws. Insert the mounting screws and tighten firmly using a nut driver.
• Reinstall the oven racks and restore electrical power to the range.
