What Upper and Lower Oven Sensor Codes (Kenmore double wall oven) Means
Kenmore double ovens report each cavity separately, and the practical consequence is that the code number tells a technician which of the two sensors has failed before anyone opens a panel. The published sensor reference on the Kenmore Elite double-oven control is around 1,090 ohms.
Common Causes of Upper and Lower Oven Sensor Codes (Kenmore double wall oven)
- A cavity temperature sensor out of its resistance window
- A sensor harness damaged behind one cavity
- A shared control board no longer reading one sensor circuit
🔧 One Safe Check You Can Try
Record which cavity misbehaves and under which mode — bake, broil or clean — because on a double oven that halves the diagnosis before the visit begins.
⚠ Why You Shouldn't Go Further Than That
- Let both cavities cool fully and cut power at the breaker before any panel is removed.
- Because the two cavities share part of the control architecture, careless work on one side can introduce a fault on the other.
- A double wall oven is heavy and set into cabinetry, so drawing it out needs two people and protection for the surrounding units.
Opening a panel to inspect or repair something yourself doesn't automatically cancel your manufacturer's warranty — but it can risk accidental damage, and some manufacturers do have specific service conditions. Check your product's warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.
