Product review (5 stars): Supco RA1986 Oven Sensor - From "partshousesupply" Works Great - FAST SHIP!
So far . . . . so good?
Technically, replacing this temp probe shouldn't solve the problems people are claiming, nor should it have solved ours? But one feels compelled to try the cheapest fix first . . . eh?
After reading many follow up repair jobs by folks, you begin to realize, many of them are replacing this in the hopes of not needing the high dollar control board - as we did, only to find out, it wasn't the problem. Then, they get the price on the control board and realize, they can get the whole oven - NEW - for 450-600 bucks, about twice the cost of the control board. However, if, by the time they've done all the "recommended" repair/replacements options first and go ahead and buy a control board too, they already blew the cost of a whole new oven? Which is of course, by design of our one world disordered world of a throwaway society.
Nonetheless, "partshousesupply" - via Amazon Marketplace speedily got this Supco RA1986 Oven Sensor in our hands and, unlike other reviewers who must have ordered the wrong part, it DEFINITELY fits right into the oven, the wires are the exact length and connector is EXACTLY as the old assembly, hence,  it fits right in, clips right on to the harness and in our case, it worked just as it was supposed to! . . .. so far. . . . given what our stove was doing, like I said, "technically" this shouldn't have solved its problem? The oven element quit, the broiler element wouldn't shut off, the ovens' overheat alarm went off, and it spit out an error code. Had we not intentionally tripped the breaker, I believe the oven (or something) would have started on fire because it was nearly ready to self-combust by the time we arrived to a house full of smoke? Consequently, until this repair is thoroughly tested, we won't be walking away from any baking projects for a while. . .
