Abstract

See full text

An oven appliance and method of operation are provided herein. The oven appliance may include a cabinet defining an oven cavity, a heat source disposed within the oven cavity, an acoustic wave reader, a surface acoustic wave (SAW) temperature sensor receivable within the oven cavity, and a controller in operable communication with the acoustic wave reader. The controller may be configured to initiate a sensor protection sequence. The sensor protection sequence may include initiating a preset oven cycle of the heat source, and monitoring the oven cavity for a condition signal in response to the initiated oven cycle. The sensor protection sequence may further include determining a state of the SAW temperature sensor based on the monitoring, and halting the preset oven cycle based on a determined cavity-enclosed state of the SAW temperature sensor within the oven cavity.
