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.

Conrad for Model Number WDT720PADM0

My dishwasher is intermittently not completing cycles, and we find the soap puck undissolved in the base of the machine. The inlet valve functions properly and fills the sump upon startup. I hear what I believe to be the diverter motor running and clicking within the first minute after that. However, the circulation pump will only sometimes run. I am getting codes F6E6 and F7E2 which appear to relate to cold water temp, but I have verified my incoming water is nice and hot as it should be. What component should I troubleshoot next?

Answer

Hello Conrad, the codes refer to low-temperature incoming water and a possible heater problem, however, if the control board does not see the circulation pump running it will disable the heater resulting in the code. As a check uninstall the dishwasher and look for the 2 Light blue wires going to the circulation pump which is under and toward the rear of the tub base, unlock the wire connection to the pump and repeatedly move it out/in,(cleaning the terminals,) reinstall the dishwasher and check if it has corrected the problem at least temporarily, if so the main wire harness W10850395 will need to be replaced, this is usually not a pump or control board problem.
