It is used for the main oven, and for the top oven on double oven models. More than 100 models are on file, from Electrolux EVE616SC and EVEP618SC to Westinghouse WVE617S, WFE915SB and POR883S, Chef CVEP614SA and Simpson SVEP614SA. Earlier numbers are 389081801 and 4055549580.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOven temperature wrong or showing a sensor error\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sensor is a probe that pokes into the oven cavity, often near the top rear corner, and its resistance rises as the oven heats. The control board reads that resistance to decide when to switch the elements on and off. When the sensor drifts or fails, the oven may overshoot and burn food, never reach temperature, cut out partway through cooking, or show a sensor or temperature fault on the display. A PT500 reads about 500 ohms at 0 degrees and roughly 540 ohms at room temperature, so a multimeter reading well outside that, or open circuit, points to a dud sensor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Electrolux group part 3890818036\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePT500 type temperature sensor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarlier numbers 389081801 and 4055549580\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsed for the main oven and the top oven of double ovens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits Electrolux EVE and EVEP, Westinghouse WVE and WFE, Chef CVEP and Simpson SVEP models\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\u003eChanging the oven sensor\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIsolate the oven at the switchboard and give it time to cool. The probe is fixed into the cavity wall and its lead runs to a plug at the back, so the oven usually needs to come out of the cabinet. Photograph the connection, swap the sensor and route the lead away from hot surfaces. If the oven is hard-wired, leave the reconnection to a licensed electrician.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill a PT1000 sensor work instead?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. A PT1000 has double the resistance of a PT500 at the same temperature, so the control board would read the oven as far hotter than it really is. Use the PT500 sensor specified for your model.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Electrolux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44547423010894,"sku":"3890818036","price":55.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/3489\/7998\/files\/3890818036-genuine-electrolux-oven-temperature-sensor-pt500.jpg?v=1792025584","url":"https:\/\/partsshop.com.au\/products\/3890818036-genuine-electrolux-oven-temperature-sensor-pt500","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
