On reflection, I did not spend quality time checking or cleaning the area where the sensor bolts to the upper pan. That's frustrating.
My question is, when I do it all again (just not yet!), I want to make sure the darn thing seals. Would it be okay to put a bead of RTV on the part of the plastic sensor bracket that presses up against the inside of the upper pan?
I don't know if that would work or not.
When I did mine, I made sure that everything was completely clean.
I might be doing mine over again because I think I have a faulty sensor.
