KitchenAid KESA907PBB00 electric slide-in range Parts

On the KitchenAid KESA907PBB00 electric slide-in range, replacing the oven temperature sensor is a straightforward repair: disconnect power, remove the sensor mounting screws inside the oven, pull the sensor forward to access the connector, swap the new sensor in, then reassemble and restore power. See the owner's manual for safety and access details.

Before you start (safety and prep)

• Turn off the breaker (240V) or unplug the range if accessible.
• Let the oven cool completely.
• Use gloves; sheet metal edges can be sharp.
• Keep the sensor wiring from falling back into the rear insulation.
• Take a quick photo of the connector orientation before separating it.

Replacement steps (typical for this model style)

1. Remove oven racks for working room.
2. Locate the sensor probe inside the oven cavity (usually on the rear wall).
3. Remove the mounting screws holding the sensor.
4. Gently pull the sensor toward you a few inches to expose the wire connector.
5. Separate the connector; do not pull on the wires.
6. Connect the new sensor, tuck excess wire back through the opening, and remount the sensor.
7. Restore power and test by preheating.

Which part you need

For KESA907PBB00, the correct replacement is the wall oven temperature sensor WPW10131825.

Symptom	Most likely issue	What to check next
Oven temp is consistently too hot or too cool	Sensor out of range	Inspect sensor connector and harness for heat damage
Oven won’t regulate temperature, long preheat	Sensor or wiring problem	Check for loose plug, pinched wires, or corrosion
Error beeps or temperature-related fault	Sensor circuit issue	Verify connector is fully seated after replacement

Why it matters

The oven temperature sensor is the feedback device the control uses to cycle the bake and broil elements. When it drifts out of spec or has an intermittent connection, baking temperatures can swing, causing undercooked or overcooked results.

To reset the cooktop on your KitchenAid KESA907PBB00 electric slide-in range, we recommend doing a hard power reset: turn the range off at the breaker for 1 minute, then restore power and watch for 1 minute to confirm normal operation.

Quick reset steps (hard reset)

• Turn all surface controls to Off.
• Switch OFF the range circuit breaker (or remove the fuse) for 60 seconds.
• Switch the breaker ON.
• Wait 1 minute and check whether the display or error returns.
• Test a surface element on a low setting, then increase heat gradually.

If the cooktop is locked, unlock it first

Some “won’t turn on” situations are caused by Control Lock, not a failure.

• Press and hold Control Lock for 5 seconds to toggle lock/unlock.
• When locked, CONTROL LOCK glows red and surface areas will not turn on.
• After unlocking, try turning on a burner again.

For the exact button names and indicators used on your control panel, follow the KESA907PBB00 owner's manual.

What to check if the problem comes back

If the cooktop resets but the issue returns, these checks narrow it down fast:

• Power supply: confirm the breaker is fully seated (not half-tripped).
• Control input: on knob models, push the knob in before turning.
• Overheat condition: let the glass cool if the hot surface light is on.
• Cookware size: use a pan close to the element size; avoid overhang beyond about 1/2 inch.
• Heating performance: if the element does not heat evenly, the radiant element may be failing.

Common symptom vs. likely cause

Symptom	Most common cause	What to do next
No burners work	Power issue or Control Lock	Reset breaker; unlock Control Lock
One burner won’t heat	Failed radiant element	Inspect and replace the element if needed
Error returns after reset	Intermittent control or sensor issue	Re-test after cooling; check wiring connections

Why it matters

A proper reset clears temporary control glitches and restores normal touch or knob response. If the cooktop is actually locked out, unlocking it prevents unnecessary part replacement and gets you cooking again quickly.

If the display on your KitchenAid electric slide-in range model KESA907PBB00 is blank or unresponsive, the most common causes are a tripped breaker or loose power connection, a failed touch control interface, or a problem in the electronic control circuit. Start with a safe power reset and basic power checks from the installation guide.

Quick checks first (no parts needed)

• Confirm the range is plugged into a grounded outlet.
• Check the household fuse or reset the circuit breaker (a partially tripped breaker can leave the display dead).
• Unplug the range (or switch the breaker off) for 3 to 5 minutes, then restore power.
• If the oven light works but the display stays dark, the issue is usually in the control area, not the house power.
• If the display comes on but buttons do not respond, the membrane switch or touch control system is the likely failure.

What to inspect if power is good

Turn power off at the breaker before removing any panels.

• Look for a loose wiring connector at the control (common after moving or cleaning).
• Check for heat damage or discoloration on wiring near the control area.
• If the range recently had moisture or cleaner overspray near the console, the touch panel can short and stop responding.

Parts that commonly relate to a dead or erratic display

On KESA907PBB00, display problems are often tied to the touch interface or control electronics. If your symptoms include incorrect temperatures or runaway heating along with display issues, also test the oven temperature sensor.

Symptom	Most likely area	What to do next
Display completely blank	Power supply, control power feed, control board	Verify breaker/outlet; inspect wiring connections
Display on, buttons do nothing	Touchpad/membrane switch	Consider replacing the touch interface; verify ribbon connections
Temps seem wrong, display works	Sensor circuit	Test/replace oven sensor WP8274149

Why it matters

A non-working display can prevent you from setting bake, broil, or self-clean safely. It can also hide error conditions that point to overheating, sensor faults, or a failing touch control system.
