How to replace the temperature sensor in your Frigidaire gas wall oven
- Shut off all electricity to the gas wall oven. Turn the gas shut-off valve to the off position. Wear work gloves to protect your hands during the repair.
- Find the temperature sensor probe in the top left corner of the back wall of the oven interior. Using a 1/4-inch nut driver, remove the 2 hex head 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—far enough to disconnect the wires. As you pull, use needle-nose pliers to guide the wire harness connector through the hole in the oven wall. Pull the temperature sensor probe a few inches forward so you can reach the wire connector.
- 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.
- Turn on the electricity and the gas.
How to fix your Frigidaire gas wall oven when it won't work at all
If your wall oven has a digital display and the control panel doesn't light up, reset the house circuit breaker for the wall oven if it's tripped. If the oven has power but the control is dead, you may need to replace the electronic control board.
In an oven that uses dial controls, a tripped house circuit breaker or a failed oven control thermostat can prevent the oven from working at all. Reset the house circuit breaker for the wall oven if it's tripped. If the oven has power, you may need to replace the oven control thermostat.
