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.

Rebecca for Model Number KUDS30FXPA4

Hello, I have a question about the yellow wires that connect to the turbidity censor. Two of the 6 wires were cut when the dishwasher was moved. I'm 90% sure which ends match. But in the possibility i switch 2 of the yellow wires will that be a problem? My question is, are these yellow wires locations interchangeable? can i simply strip the ends of these wires and reconnect the with electric tape? another question I have -- if my dishwasher is 6 feet away from the sink, how long should the drain hose be? Thank you! Rebecca

Answer

Rebecca, Based on the information you have provided I am sorry to say yes it matters that the wires are connected back to the correct one. each of the yellow wires connects to a different pin and circuit in the sensor and the board. Your drain would need to be long enough to give the high loop before entering the house drain.
