Show Me How to replace Jenn-air oven sensor

Oven Repair (including Ranges and Cooktops)

Ok, here it goes. Oven stopped working after self-clean. Oven bake ignitor looked shot, replaced it. Still does not work. Code F14 displayed. Called J-A, they advised it was a runaway lower oven temp - likely the oven sensor or the ribbon board in control pannel.

The control panel is out of warranty, but they will send free if a certified repair tech ($130 to say hi + repair fee) verifies. Sensor is $40 +/-. I will try sensor first unless someone says not to.

How do I replace sensor? I heard the back panel must be removed in order to access it. Does the sensor wire connect to control panel or elsewhere? Are there any fuses (thermal or otherwise) that I check to see if they were blown?

Thanks for your assistance in advance!

According to the [Service manual](http://www.appliancepartspros.com/partsearch/model.aspx?model_id=5170013&diagram_id=1330459"]breakdown diagrams[/URL] there is only one oven in your range and there is no "F14" error code listed for this model.

I would recommend to perform the troubleshooting as described in the [URL="http://servicematters.com/maytag_library/docs/16022498.pdf).

Here are the breakdown diagrams and http://www.appliancepartspros.com/partsearch/model.aspx?model_id=5170013

Gene,

Yes, I am aware this range obviously has only 1 oven. As for the code, that’s what it is. Per the Jenn-air contact #, that is what they told me "runaway" lower oven temp - which means either the oven sensor or the ribbon control panel.

I am trying to find someone who can walk me through the process of finding where the power lead for the sensor is. This way, I can try to replace it as it is a lot cheaper to try that first.

I also want someone with experience to let me know if this unit has any fuses that might have blown, and to explain where they are.

Thanks.
