Symptoms of a bad water temperature sensor include:

  • Inability to switch between wash steps or advance through the cycle
  • Erratic or inconsistent temperature readings
  • Failure alarms or error codes displayed
  • Improper or incomplete washing even on high heat settings

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Water Temperature Sensor (Part Number: OEM18065667)

1 Answer

Hello Silah, thanks for contacting AppliancePartsPros.com
It does not appear that the manufacturer offers an individually serviceable gasket or washer for the temperature sensor on this model, you would need the heater assembly WPW10426377 which will include those parts, the sensor, and the heater.

Wayne,

You will want to test the temperature sensor to make sure that it is good. This error code indicates a water temperature sensor error.

John,

For this issue, Test to see if there is power getting to the water valve and if there is not then this will be a faulty main control board.

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.
Walter for Model Number WFW9200SQA10

My washer has been stopping during running or not starting at all, pressing the start button it just beeps. No error codes are showing, the time just blinks and door unlocks. It will run for a week without a problem and then it wont start. Have unplugged without help, sometimes opening and closing door helps, or rotating the tub or just get lucky and it starts. Sometimes it makes it 5 minutes into the cycle other times it makes it 50 minutes into the cycle. Replaced the door lock assembly, same issue.

Walter,
It sounds like a possible control not detecting the door lock occasionally or even possibly an MCU failure. We will send you a copy to run through some tests. When the machine pauses in the test record the number of which test and that will be your area of trouble. If the tests are complete then it's more than likely the CCU which is part number W10115079 but unfortunately has been discontinued.

Loren, the temperature sensor WPW10467289, and the heating element WPW10426377 would need to be tested for resistance to identify if one of them has failed or if there is another issue. The resistance of the sensor should be 9.7KO at 86°F and the heating element should measure between 10O to 15O. If the resistance is within 10% of the reading, they are good and the wires would need to be checked for a loose connection or a pinched section of wire.

Marshall,

There is no guide to rewiring the temperature sensor. If the wire has come out of the connector then you will cut the terminals off and just add a female spade connector that will go on the thermistor and reconnect it. It will not matter which wire goes to which terminal.

Hello Carla,
The first thing you should do is raise the main top and pull the tech sheet. This will explain how to run a diagnostic mode and pull fault codes. The fault codes will give you a good starting place in properly diagnosing the problem without "throwing parts at the machine".

Hello Kit,
yes the open water temp sensor circuit will cause a F24 fault code and will prevent start up. The loose wire will need to be reconnected, as the main wire harness is no longer available. If the wire end that connects to the sensor is broken a new terminal can be added, it the other end of the wire came out other rest of the main wire harness it will need to be spliced back in.

Hello Yoni,
As per the tech sheet:
NO WATER DETECTED ENTERING MACHINE OR PRESSURE SWITCH TRIP NOT DETECTED
If after 30 seconds not minimum 0.1l of water entered or maximum fill time of 13 minutes is exceeded, the valves will be turned off and the error code will be displayed. Press PAUSE/CANCEL twice to clear the display.
Possible Causes/Procedure
If there is no water in the unit:
Make sure that both valves at the water source(s) are turned on all the way.
Check for plugged or kinked inlet hoses or plugged screens in the inlet valves.
Verify the inlet valve operation.
If there is water in the unit:
Verify that the pressure switch hose is in good condition and properly connected to the tub and pressure switch.
Unplug washer or disconnect power.
Verify there is not a siphon problem.
Verify wire harness connections to inlet valves, pressure switch, flow meter, and Central Control Unit (CCU).
Check all hoses for possible leaks.
Plug in the washer or reconnect power.
Verify pressure switch operation.
Verify flow meter operation by blowing air through the part and measuring the resistance.
Verify CCU operation by running a Diagnostic test or any cycle.
If no problems are located the unit may need a control board WPW10157911.
