The Flow Sensor is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It is responsible for monitoring the flow rate of water entering the dishwasher, ensuring proper water levels for optimal performance. By measuring water flow, the sensor allows the appliance to adjust operations for efficient cleaning cycles.
Causes of a bad Flow Sensor can include mineral buildup from hard water, electrical component failure, or physical damage from mishandling or regular wear over time. These issues can lead to inaccurate water level readings and hinder the dishwasher’s ability to clean effectively.
Symptoms of a bad Flow Sensor include:
- Inconsistent water levels during cycles
- Poor cleaning performance
- Long or incomplete wash cycles
- Error codes related to water flow
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
