Whirlpool 12001655 Oven Sensor short

The Whirlpool 12001655 is an essential device within your Whirlpool oven, primarily functioning as an oven sensor. This sensor is essential for safeguarding correct and consistent cooking temperatures since it constantly monitors the heat level inside the oven cavity. It functions as a thermometer, continuously measuring the temperature and relaying the information to the oven's control board. The control board then employs this temperature data to adjust the heating elements. For example, if the sensor detects a temperature lower than the one you choose, it instructs the control board to activate the heating components until the desired temperature is achieved. If the sensor detects a temperature higher than the set point, the control board decreases power to the heating components.
