If your range/oven technician diagnosed a bad temperature sensor, here's what the part and labor typically run, what symptoms actually point to this repair, and what testing should back up the diagnosis before you approve it.
Installed price = labor + retail part price, plus 4% processing and a $15 shipping fee, before sales tax. Labor reflects a $225 minimum service charge, higher for repairs that take more time or disassembly.
Before approving a Temperature Sensor replacement, a technician should generally have checked:

Check my quote — free preliminary readTypical installed cost for a temperature sensor on a range/oven runs $270–$352, made up of a $20–$55 part and $225–$269 in labor. Quotes well outside that range are worth a second look.
Typical signs include: oven runs too hot or too cold; inconsistent baking results; temperature error code. If your symptoms don't match this pattern, ask what ruled out other causes.
A documented diagnosis for this repair should generally include: resistance test on sensor at room vs. heated temp; sensor positioning check; compare to independent oven thermometer. If none of this was mentioned, it's a fair question to ask before you approve the work.
