5304504897 Genuine OEM Frigidaire Oven Temperature Sensor
An oven that runs too hot, too cold, or throws error codes almost always starts with a failed temperature sensor — and the 5304504897 is the Genuine OEM replacement for select Frigidaire, Electrolux, and Kenmore ovens. This RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) probe is installed on the rear wall of the oven cavity and measures cavity temperature in real time, feeding resistance data back to the control board. The board uses that signal to decide when to energize or cut power to the bake and broil elements, keeping the oven at the selected temperature.
When the probe's resistance drifts or fails entirely, the board loses its temperature reference — producing ovens that run wild, cycle elements incorrectly, or lock down with F10, F3, or F30 error codes. Because this is a Genuine OEM Frigidaire part, it matches the original probe's exact resistance curve, length, and connector. The repair requires only a screwdriver and takes under 30 minutes in most cases.
🔧 Quick Answer — Will This Fix Your Oven?
Replace this sensor if your oven overheats, undercooks, bakes unevenly, or displays F10 / F3 / F30 error codes. Test first: a healthy sensor reads 1,000–1,100 ohms at room temperature. Part Number: 5304504897 — Genuine OEM, fits Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore, Gibson, and Kelvinator ovens.
Common Symptoms This Part Fixes
- Oven temperature runs higher or lower than the set temperature
- Uneven baking — burnt edges, undercooked centers
- Error codes F10, F3, or F30 on the display
- Oven overheats and shuts down on the thermal limiter
- Bake or broil element won't cycle on or cycles off too fast
- Oven temperature fluctuates unpredictably during cooking

Frequently Asked Questions
Could the control board be causing the same symptoms as a bad sensor?
Yes, but the sensor should always be tested and replaced first. The control board is significantly more expensive, and sensor failure is the cause of F10, F3, and F30 errors in the large majority of cases. Test the sensor with a multimeter — if it reads outside 900–1,200 ohms at room temperature, replace it. If a new sensor doesn't resolve the error code, then the board should be evaluated. Replacing the board without testing the sensor first is the most common and costly mistake in this repair sequence.
What is F10 and why does the temperature sensor cause it?
F10 is an "oven runaway temperature" fault — the control board detected that the oven exceeded approximately 590°F when it shouldn't be that hot. This almost always means the sensor is sending a low-resistance reading that tells the board the oven is cold, causing the board to keep the element energized past the safe limit. The oven itself may not actually be overheating — the sensor is simply reporting incorrect data. Replacing the sensor corrects the false reading and clears the fault.
My oven shows the correct temperature on the display but food still bakes unevenly — could this be the sensor?
Possibly. If the sensor's resistance has drifted subtly, the oven's displayed temperature may be calibrated to the bad sensor and appear correct while the actual cavity temperature is off. The best way to check is with a standalone oven thermometer placed in the center of the cavity — if it reads significantly different from the display (more than 25°F), a sensor out of spec is a likely contributor. Test the sensor with a multimeter as a first step.
Is this sensor compatible with Electrolux wall ovens?
Yes. The 5304504897 is compatible with select Electrolux wall ovens and ranges, as Electrolux and Frigidaire share the same appliance platform under the Electrolux Group umbrella. Always confirm compatibility by matching your full model number before ordering. If you have a Kenmore oven manufactured by Frigidaire or Electrolux (look for model numbers beginning with 790), this sensor is also the correct fit for many of those models.
How is this sensor installed?
The sensor is mounted on the rear wall of the oven cavity with two Phillips screws. Open the oven door and remove the racks for clear access. Remove the two mounting screws, pull the sensor probe forward through its wall bracket, and disconnect the wiring harness connector. Reverse the steps with the new sensor, ensuring the connector clicks firmly into place. Restore power and run a bake cycle to verify normal operation. The entire repair typically takes 15–30 minutes.
