Sensi temp trouble Purchased another sensor and the ohms were 17.5 hooked it up now working. Obviously the first sensor I bought was defective...ohm readings were all over the place. Next project is the clock and timers. Gary Cooper

Hey John to answer your question if the leads are yellow or white..I have both lol yellow on the sensor end and white one the responder end..I know it worked like this for years and I guess the white leads where put on there to avoid confusion having 4 yellow wires at the responder..also I did...

John the wiring diagram and schematic says it should be 17.5 ohms but at also shows that wires that run from the responder to where it connects to the sensor wires are white ...the there is a c circled which I guess means connection to the sensor Gary Cooper

Hey John I have it disconnected from the range and in the box...I just tested it right out of box at 15 ohms and climbing at a temp of 70 degrees. The leads are yellow and the leads on the sensor I removed were yellow but are white at the responder. That's kinda strange..is that normal?

Reply# 82 Mine doesn't come on at all with the sensor connected...when I disconnect the sensor and connect the leads together that run to the responder then it comes on high and stays on high because the sensor has been bypassed.

Hey John the model number is J797C2WH serial number CZ92220..I contacted GE and was told the serial number should have 6 numbers so only guessed at it being a 1976..I think it's early 70s or late 60s because it has the convenience outlets. The old sensor had 17.5 ohms stamped on it..yellow leads...

Sensi temp trouble Well the new responder didn't help...the new sensor must be bad ...I'm only getting about 10 ohms...the transformer is good so I don't know what else it could be. Gary C.

Sensi temp trouble Thanks for the info John L. I think I have this sensi temp issue down to a bad responder. If I could find a fixed temp push button switch like my other three I would just change it to a fixed temp burner. So if anyone comes across a GE switch wb23x55 let me know. Gary C.

Sensi temp trouble Can the sensor be tested right out of the box or does it need to be tested through the responder? Gary C.

Sensi temp trouble When I disconnect the sensor and then connect the leads and the burner works does that mean the responder and transformer are good? Gary C.

I know I wouldn't attempt changing over to an infinite switch either...what was the sensor number you are looking for?

Hey spacepig I would suggest buying parts based on the model number or if you know the part number.I purchased my based on it looked the same it was a a perfect fit but that doesn't mean it will work. I have yet to find my model number even exists

Thanks John..does the sensor connect directly to the responder? Also do the T S T S connections on the responder mean T for transformer and S for sensor?

Yes wb21x5207
