Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Water Temperature Switch (Part Number: OEM18030762)

1 Answer

Hello Cornel,
You should try running the hot water as close to the machine as possible. If the water heater is on the other end of the house, it could be full before the hot water heats up the plumbing and reaches the machine. If this is not the case, it is possible for the hot water valve 285805 to be defective. You should also check the water temperature switch WPW10168256.

Hello Ernie. Check and make sure the screens on the valve and if there are any in the hoses are clear and the cold water flows good. If so, you will test for power coming to the water valve. If there is power there, and the water does not come out, you will need to replace the water valve 285805 on the unit. 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
