Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Washer Water Temperature Switch (Part Number: OEM18049497)

1 Answer

Hello Kevin. You will need to check and see if there is power at the brown wire at the ATC switch. If so, test and see if there is power at the yellow/red wire on the switch. If there is no power at the brown wire when the unit is suppose to bring in cold water, you will need to replace the timer WP8572976. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps.http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html

Hello T.H! Make sure that both faucets are turned on. You most likely have a bad ATC switch WPW10184148. You will need to remove the two screws holding the end caps to the control panel and release the mounting tabs from the top. The control panel will lift up and back for access. Hope this helps!
