Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Turbidity Sensor (Part Number: OEM18071610)

Steve for Model Number WDT910SAYH3

Dishwasher will not run wash pump on Normal, Heavy or Sensor cycles. Unit starts cycle by draining, filling tub and briefly running wash pump. Then it pauses like it is waiting for the water to heat up and never runs the wash pump again for the rest of the cycle. The rest of the cycle functions still happen. The detergent door opens, the water drains and the drying cycle runs. If I run the Quick Wash cycle, everything works as it should. I had a 7-1 code, so I did all of the suggested diagnostic checks, which all checked out fine, so I replaced the Control Board which was the last action suggested by the troubleshooting guide. The unit still acts the same with the new control board. I have run through several diagnostic cycles. Occasionally, it will give me a 6-4 code for the float switch, but usually gives me no fault codes. I have been told that the issue is likely the electrical connection to the wash motor, but I can't understand how that would allow it to always work on quick wash cycle. Could I have a different sensor or switch failed that would allow the unit to function this way?

Hello Steve, Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the control board W10595569 is bad and will need to be replaced. Thanks.

Ben, Check the wiring of between the supply and the main board. This issue will be the most likely cause for the issue with the board and the control panel having been replaced.

Hello Paul. Make sure the water is turned on and the wiring is good. If so, then you will need to replace the control board on the unit. Thank you.

Patricia for Model Number GU2300XTVB2

Whirpool Quiet partner 3. I usually run it on normal cycle. It seems to fill and drain properly (some standing water in where the food choppe/screen is). The bottom arm spins, the middle arm and top sprayer do not. I have taken everything apart, cleaned everything, although there really wasn't much debris. I am still getting particles of food/sediment on the items in the top rack mostly, some on the bottom. I know soap can be an issue, but we have a water softener and I will use dishwasher additives (lemishine) which helps, BUT it seems like the water is not circulating/filtering properly. I have had the machine for several years without problem, so this started a few months ago. Pumps? Sensors? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Patricia, You will want to check the impeller on the unit as this will be the most likely cause for the issue with the unit. Also check to make sure that the check ball is in place properly.

Darren for Model Number WDT790SLYM2

My Whirlpool Gold series dishwasher will fill with water, but the washer motor won't start. It did work for one cycle after trying a few times, but after draining and refilling, it got stuck again and would not engage the wash cycle. Sometimes I can hear some clicking, but the motor does not start. A service tech said it may be the turbidity sensor and diverter. Does this sound right? Doesn't seem like these parts would cause this, but Just wanted some expert help. Thanks. PS - it does clean well if you can get the motor on.

1 Answer

Darren, You will want to check the motor to see if there is 120 vac getting to it. If there is 120 vac then check to make sure that there is nothing caught in the wash motor and if there is not then this will be a faulty motor. If there is not 120 vac then this will be an issue with the main control board.

Tom for Model Number WDF760SADT2

On sensor wash our washer went from 2hr.33 min. to 3 hr. 41min. Dishes always came out clean, but what caused the wash time to jump up so much??? Dishes are not put in with hardly anything on them... Looked in the spot were the turbidity sensor is and it is CLEAN... We are on a septic system and the longer it is cleaning the more water is going into our system I take it... Is the turbidity sensor what tells the machine the length of time for the wash cycle??? The dishwasher is 2 years old... Thanks for your time... Tom G.

1 Answer

Tom, The turbidity sensor would be the most likely cause for the extended wash times on the unit. The turbidity sensor part number will be WPW10705575.

Tim, The turbidity sensor senses the amount of debris in the wash water, it will extend or reduce the cycle time based on the input from the sensor to the control board. The more likely problem is a lack of water in the tub. Start the dishwasher on a regular cycle, allow the machine to fill and wash for 3 to 5 minutes, then unlatch the door. Remove the lower rack and measure the depth of the water in the center of the tub, it should be approximately 3/4 to 1 inch deep. If not replace the fill valve WPW10327249. We presume you've already checked the spray arms for hard water deposits and debris blocking the venturi holes in the spray arms.

Doug B for Model Number SHE44C06UC/47 Bosch dishwasher

On the regular wash cycle sometimes it gets to the last 1 minute on the timer and will stay there for an hour or more and finally shut off and display the " sanitized" light or it will not sanitize and the dishes will not be dry but it will be very hot inside. When it does say sanitized they are dry. and then sometimes when it says 1 minute left on the display it will perform normally. I was thinking that it is either the control board or the turbity sensor?

1 Answer

Doug, This issue would most likely be caused by a heating circuit issue which you would want to check the heater, the thermostat and wiring. If this checks ok then replace the control module.
