4.89 (64)
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: OEM18071610
Manufacturer Part Number: WPW10705575

The Turbidity Sensor is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It detects the level of particles in the water during the wash cycle, allowing the dishwasher to adjust the cycle duration and water usage for optimal cleaning performance. This sensor ensures that dishes are thoroughly cleaned by monitoring water clarity.

You should replace the turbidity sensor if it becomes faulty or damaged. Causes of a bad turbidity sensor can include regular wear and tear, exposure to hard water minerals, or electrical malfunctions. A malfunctioning sensor can lead to inefficient cleaning cycles and poor wash results.

Symptoms of a bad turbidity sensor include:

  • Dishes not being cleaned properly
  • Dishwasher running longer than usual or shorter cycles
  • Error codes related to the sensor
  • Inconsistent wash performance

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Darren for Model Number WDT790SLYM2

My Whirlpool Gold series dishwasher will fill with water, but the washer motor won't start. It did work for one cycle after trying a few times, but after draining and refilling, it got stuck again and would not engage the wash cycle. Sometimes I can hear some clicking, but the motor does not start. A service tech said it may be the turbidity sensor and diverter. Does this sound right? Doesn't seem like these parts would cause this, but Just wanted some expert help. Thanks. PS - it does clean well if you can get the motor on.

Answer

Darren, You will want to check the motor to see if there is 120 vac getting to it. If there is 120 vac then check to make sure that there is nothing caught in the wash motor and if there is not then this will be a faulty motor. If there is not 120 vac then this will be an issue with the main control board.
