Don't Let This Frigidaire Oven Booby Trap Get You


The temperature sensors used in ovens, which are devices called RTDs, don't vary too much between brands and models. There's something of an industry standard for RTD specs that you can generally rely on, even when you aren't given the specs explicitly.

However, Frigidaire has left a booby trap in the form of an RTD with unique specs in some of their ovens. What's more, this difference isn't even properly reflected in some of their tech sheets. They've got incorrect specs!

Want to know exactly how to avoid being caught by this trap? Check out this video. It's taken from one of our Live Dojo workshops, which we hold on Zoom every other week. Click here to see our calendar and sign up for the next one.

The service bulletin doesn't show this but a picture of the oddball sensor from a consumer site shows how short it is, and how the end of the probe doesn't look crimped like every other RTD I've ever seen. Maybe there are 2 RTD's in there wired in parallel.

I get jealous of big companies because they make money on their mistakes.
