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.

Ed for Model Number Kitchenaid KDTM404KPS 0

Dishwasher won't complete it's wash cycle. It fills, heats and agitates the water fine, but then stops and makes three beeps continuously while flashing the "clean" indicator light. Water is still in the bottom, but drains when I hit the drain/cancel button. This was an intermittent problem that got progressively more consistent. When I put it in diagnostic mode, I got F9E1: product not draining and F10E2: Vent Wax Motor electrical problem. I have suspicions of a couple different possibilities, but I would like to be more sure before replacing parts.

Answer

Ed, The blinking LED likely is an indication of an error that the CCU has logged. The not draining issue could be a clog in the drain or a drain motor not working, these will need to be checked and corrected if they are issues. The electrical issue at the dispenser would also need to be resolved. Once these have been resolved or confirmed as a non-issue but still give the errors then you may have a CCU that has gone bad and would need to be replaced.
