A PT500 is a platinum resistance sensor whose resistance rises in a steady, known way as it heats, and the control board reads that as oven temperature. Electrolux uses more than one sensor type, so confirm your old sensor is also a PT500 by checking its number before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSymptoms of a failed oven temperature sensor\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe control board relies on the sensor to know when to switch the elements on and off. When a sensor drifts or fails, the oven may overheat and burn food, run cool so cooking takes longer, or refuse to heat at all. Many electronic ovens also show an error code or flash the display when the sensor reads open or short circuit. Sensor leads run through hot areas of the oven, so damaged wiring or a loose connector can cause the same faults as the sensor itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Electrolux part 3879614018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePT500 platinum resistance temperature sensor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor Electrolux group ovens with electronic controls, model fit not on file\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck your old sensor is also PT500 before ordering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"part-specs\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSensor type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePT500\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTesting and fitting the sensor\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurn off the oven at the switchboard. A licensed electrician or qualified technician should handle the wiring. The sensor usually pushes through the back or top of the cavity, held by screws, with its connector behind the panel. Before replacing it, measure the resistance at room temperature and compare it with your service information. Fit the new sensor, reconnect it firmly, then check the oven with an oven thermometer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use a PT1000 sensor instead?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. A PT1000 has double the resistance of a PT500 at the same temperature, so the control would misread the oven heat. Use a sensor that matches your oven's original type and number.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Electrolux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44551287308366,"sku":"3879614018","price":58.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/partsshop.com.au\/products\/3879614018-genuine-electrolux-oven-temperature-sensor-pt500","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
