Dryer Fuse Or Sensor

Sensor
Genuine Whirlpool part
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: W11702231

The Moisture Sensor is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool washing machines. The sensor monitors moisture levels to determine when the appropriate moisture point has been reached, signaling the appliance to advance to the next step in the cycle.

Symptoms of a bad moisture sensor include: 

  • Inability to advance through entire wash cycle  
  • Immediate ending of cycle after short period of time
  • Sensor may show moisture levels incorrectly
  • LED lights indicating error codes related to moisture detection

Causes of a bad moisture sensor can be due to cracks, corrosion, or damage to its sensitive electronic components from impact or overuse. Regular cleaning and maintenance helps extend the life of the moisture sensor. 

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

Moisture Sensor Rods (Dryer)
Genuine Ge part
By: Ge
Part Number: WE1M575

These moisture sensor rods detect how damp the load is and signal the control, helping the dryer stop at the right time. Replacing worn or coated rods restores accurate Auto Dry performance and reduces damp loads or overdrying.

  • Measures moisture by sensing conductivity across the rods as clothes tumble
  • Sends feedback to the timer/control to adjust cycle length on Sensor/Auto Dry
  • Safe symptom matches: cycles end too soon or run too long, clothes remain damp, Auto Dry doesn't advance reliably
  • Residue from dryer sheets/fabric softener can insulate the rods and affect readings
What's included: Moisture sensor rods Install notes:
  • Disconnect power (and shut off gas supply for gas models) before servicing
  • Access the rods at the front bulkhead/lint filter housing; panel removal may be required on some models
  • Remove mounting fasteners, transfer wiring in the same orientation, and secure the new rods
  • Ensure the sensing surfaces are clean and unobstructed; test on an Auto Dry cycle
Care tip: If the rods are just coated with residue, cleaning them with rubbing alcohol can improve sensing. Replace if pitted, damaged, or if issues persist.

Do-It-Yourself Stories from Customers like You Our Maytag gas dryer was not producing heat— specifically it was cycling off after initially lighting   Timothy E. • Bellvue , CO • September 15, 2019

When I pulled out the dryer from the wall, I could see dust/lint had accumulated everywhere and the vent system was compromised. I vacuumed up the dust/lint accumulation outside and then inside the vent system. I then opened the lower cabinet to clean and check its condition. I removed the water steamer bottle and its sub-assembly and then the drum. After cleaning and inspecting components — both visually and with a multi-meter I determined the problem was the appliance doing what it was... Read more

Dryer Cycling Thermostat
Genuine Whirlpool part
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: WPY504514

Dryer won't heat or stops when hot? A faulty cycling thermostat disrupts temperature regulation. Testing with a multimeter confirms the issue.

Do-It-Yourself Stories from Customers like You Kept blowing the thermal fuse   Bobby G. • Springfield , MO • November 07, 2016

I replaced both the cycling thermostat and the hi limit thermostat along with a new thermal fuse and it seems to have fixed the problem. I thought it might be one of the thermostats but they both had continuity so I decided one of them must be faulty in some way so I just replaced both of them. I was very pleased with the prices and the quick shipping from Appliance Parts Pros. The parts were at my house in only a day and a half from when I ordered them. Read more
