Customer Questions and Answers for Sensor Harness (Dryer Moisture Sensor) by Whirlpool

4.89 (64)
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: OEM18025710
Manufacturer Part Number: WP3406653

This sensor harness connects the dryer's moisture sensor bars to the main wiring, helping the control or timer read moisture levels so Auto Dry cycles can advance and deliver consistent, reliable drying performance.

  • Provides the electrical path between the moisture sensor bars and the control/timer
  • Enables the dryer to sense wet fabrics and adjust or advance Auto Dry cycles
  • A damaged or open harness can cause Auto Dry to not advance, run too long, or stop early
  • Contribute to inconsistent dry times or a "Sensing" indicator that behaves abnormally
What's included: One sensor wire harness Install notes:
  • Disconnect power before servicing
  • Access the sensor bars at the front bulkhead; note wire routing and clip locations
  • Transfer routing/clips from the old harness; connect to both sensor bars and the main harness plug, ensuring snug terminals and clear wire paths
  • Restore power and run an Auto Dry test; inspect/clean the sensor bars and check harness continuity

Answer

Hello Buddy. Exhaust Thermistor Open. The machine control electronics monitors the exhaust temperature using the exhaust thermistor, and cycles the heater relay on and off to maintain the desired temperature. Begin with an empty dryer and a clean lint screen. 1. Plug in dryer or reconnect power. 2. Start the Timed Dry cycle. 3. If after 60 seconds, F-22 or F-23 flashes in the display and the dryer shuts off, the thermistor or wire harness is either open or shorted. ? Unplug dryer or disconnect power. ? Check wire connections at the machine control electronics and thermistor. See Accessing & Removing the Electronic Assemblies on page 13, and for thermistor location see figure 10. ? If wire connections are OK, check the exhaust thermistor resistance per step 5. 4. If F-22 or F-23 does not flash in the display, the connections to the thermistor are good. Therefore, check the exhaust temperature value at any or all of the temperature levels in question, using the Timed Dry cycle, and the following process: Hold a glass bulb thermometer capable of reading from 32° to 82°C (90° to 180°F) in the center of the exhaust outlet. * The measured overshoot using the glass bulb thermometer in the exhaust outlet can be 17°C (30°F) higher. 5. If the exhaust temperature is not within specified limits, or you have come here from step 3, remove the P14 connector, then measure the resistance between P14-3 (red-white wire) and P14-6 (red-white wire) at the connector. See figure 16, page 14 for connector location; and Accessing & Removing the Electronic Assemblies, page 13. ? If the resistance is OK, check P14-3 and P14-6 to machine ground. ? If resistance is greater than 0 (zero), replace wiring harness. NOTE: All thermistor resistance measurements must be made while dryer is unplugged or disconnected from power.
