Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Water Temperature Sensor (Part Number: OEM18065667)

1 Answer

Hello Jackie,

To access the water temperature sensor, unplug unit. Take the lower access panel off the front of the unit. On the lower front part of tub there is the heater. On the heater there is a black box with a wire connected to it. This is the sensor. You want to check the wiring to the heater and sensor to make sure that they are good. Also check the continuity of the heater to make sure that it is not defective. If you do not have continuity then the heater WPW10426377 is bad and would need to be replaced. If it checks good then you would need to replace the temperature sensor WPW10467289. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html

Hello Julie. Test for power to the cold water valve. If there is power there, and no cold water, you will need to replace the water valve in the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Safety note: testing, adjusting or bypassing anything while the appliance has power is a job for a qualified technician. Unplug it before you open it up, and keep it unplugged until every panel is back on.

Hello Gabor. Check and make sure the heater, sensor, and wire connections are good. If so, and you still have the error code, you will need to replace the CCU WPW10525355.
