Different revisions can use different communication or mounting arrangements. A sensor carrying the same brand is not automatically suitable for every hob.
What the observation means
The appliance and accessory references should be checked together. A generic temperature device may display readings without being able to control the programme safely.
A useful next step
Use the manufacturer's compatibility information before purchase. Do not pair an unapproved accessory through an improvised workaround. If the original sensor is damaged or missing, use only cooking modes the manual permits without it and seek appropriate advice.
Manuals and supporting guidance
Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
