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.

Pete for Model Number wdt720padm2

Hi, I have a Whirlpool wdt720padm and keep getting white residue that looks like soap and a lot of times leaves plastic dishes greasy. I've cleaned the drain tube, spray arms and tub. I did the CLR, vinegar, vegetable oil, different detergents, semi-shine stuff but problem persists. Prior to this issue the circle pump quit working ( would not start ) so I replaced it and now it runs through its cycles. I can't remember if the pump was new or refurb, but could that cause the residue and inefficient cleaning?

Answer

Pete, You will want to check to make sure that you are not using too much detergent as this could cause the issue. Also check the pump to make sure that there is nothing clogged in the pump. Also check to make sure that the pump does not have anything clogged in it that would cause the dishwasher to not pump properly.
