Whirlpool Oven Temperature Sensor Parts — Models & Compatibility

If your Whirlpool oven's baking at wildly inconsistent temperatures — or barely heating at all — the culprit's usually the temperature sensor. This probe tells your oven's control board what's actually happening inside the cavity, and when it fails, you'll get everything from half-baked cookies to burnt edges with raw centers. The W10833885 sensor works across Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, and Kenmore ranges built in the last decade.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

Check your model number first — it's on a sticker inside the oven door frame or on the control panel edge when you open the door. This sensor fits over 300 models, including the entire Whirlpool WFG and WEE series, Maytag MER and MES lines, KitchenAid KFGG and KSDG ranges, plus Jenn-Air JDS and JES models. If your model number starts with any of those prefixes and was made after 2010, you're probably good to go.

About This Replacement Sensor

The temperature sensor is a simple resistance-based probe that extends into your oven cavity — usually mounted at the upper back wall. As temperature rises, its electrical resistance changes, which the control board reads to maintain your set temperature. When it goes bad, you'll see three telltale symptoms: little to no heat when baking, uneven heating with hot and cold spots, or an oven that runs way too hot and burns everything. The sensor itself doesn't look damaged when it fails — the internal thermistor just drifts out of spec. Replaces older part numbers AP5988663, W10586204, PS11726314, and 4363199.

What You're Getting

The W10833885 is a direct-fit OEM replacement sensor with the correct probe length and mounting bracket for Whirlpool-family ovens. It includes the wire harness connector — no splicing or adapters needed. Most sensors fail gradually, so you might notice temperature problems getting worse over weeks or months before the oven stops working entirely.
