Most common Kenmore Elite stove parts that need replacing

How to replace the oven temperature sensor in your Kenmore Elite 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.
