I accidentally stepped on the door of my Samsung dryer. The door is intact but brackets bent. Margaret C. • Tampa , FL • June 07, 2018
I am so blessed. I went online. Found the brackets. Watch the video for the brackets I chose. And lucky me. I did not have to pull the dishwasher out. The installer did not have it flush under the counter. So I was able to pull the dishwasher forward unhook the damage brackets and insert the new. Put the dishwasher back in. Two screws. Now the balanced and secure dishwasher washes better than ever and I did not have to pay an extraordinary fee for a repairman. I'm 68 and take care of a 72 year...

Genuine Whirlpool part
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: W10853313
This sensor monitors humidity inside the microwave cavity so sensor-cook and reheat features can automatically adjust time and power. Replacing a failing sensor restores accurate automatic cooking and helps prevent premature shutdowns or "Sensor" error messages.
- Detects steam/humidity in the cavity during sensor-based cooking cycles

- Failure can cause "Sensor" errors, sensor-cook cycles that won't start or end early
- Manual timed cooking may still work while sensor-cook modes misbehave
What's included: 1 sensor Install notes:
- Disconnect power before servicing; microwaves contain a high-voltage capacitor that can retain a dangerous charge
- Access is typically behind the top grille/control area; note sensor orientation before removal
- Handle the sensor by its body; avoid contaminating the sensing face
- Route wiring as original and ensure the connector is fully seated before reassembly
