Description

This Smart ATC temperature switch senses and helps regulate oven temperature for more consistent cooking. It replaces a failed switch to restore correct temperature feedback to the range control for accurate heating. What it does:

• Detects oven temperature and sends a signal to the control so heating elements cycle appropriately
• Helps correct issues where the oven runs too hot, too cold, or cycles erratically
• Works as part of the temperature control system—does not include the main control board
• Replaces a worn or failed temperature/A.T.C. sensor switch to restore proper temperature sensing

What's included:

• One temperature switch (Smart ATC)

Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Access typically requires removing the oven control panel or back panel; keep track of screws and wire connections
• Handle the switch and connector gently to avoid damage; verify wiring matches original before reconnecting
