Assy-Case Sensor Parts

Fix a dryer that won't heat or overheats with this cycling thermostat. Regulates heating element temperature for consistent drying. Simple DIY repair.

Fix frost buildup and warm fresh food section with this clip-on defrost thermostat. Restores automatic defrost cycles. Moderate DIY repair.

The Electrode is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. It is responsible for detecting the moisture levels in your laundry during the drying cycle, allowing the dryer to automatically adjust the drying time and temperature. It helps prevent over-drying or under-drying of your clothes, saving energy and protecting them from potential damage.

A bad electrode can occur due to wear and tear, damage, or a buildup of debris or lint. If you notice symptoms such as clothes taking longer to dry, the dryer shutting off prematurely, or inconsistent drying results, it may be time to replace the moisture sensor bar electrode.

Symptoms of a bad electrode include:

• Clothes taking longer to dry than usual
• The dryer shutting off prematurely
• Inconsistent drying results, with some items remaining damp

Repair your dryer by replacing the faulty or damaged electrode with this genuine OEM part.

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
 

Fix frost buildup in your freezer with this defrost heater harness and thermostat. Restores proper defrost cycling to prevent ice accumulation.

This meat probe sensor is a temperature-sensing device that inserts into food while it cooks in the oven, allowing the oven to monitor the internal temperature and automatically stop cooking when the target temperature is reached. It connects to a jack inside the oven cavity via a heat-resistant cable. Replace this probe if your oven no longer reads the food temperature accurately, displays a probe error code, or if the cable or tip is visibly damaged.

This moisture sensor monitors dampness inside the dryer drum and signals the control when fabrics are dry, helping automatic cycles end on time and avoid overdrying. Replacing a failed sensor can restore consistent Auto Dry performance and cycle times. What it does:

• Detects moisture level via conductivity across the sensor surfaces inside the drum
• Sends feedback to the control so Auto Dry cycles advance and stop correctly
• Helps prevent overdrying and underdrying in sensor-based cycles
• Common symptoms of a faulty sensor may include: auto cycles ending too soon or running too long, clothes remaining damp, or the dryer staying on "Sensing" while timed cycles still work

• 1 moisture sensor

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, shut off gas before servicing
• Access the sensor at the front bulkhead/lint housing area; remove front panel as needed per model
• Transfer connectors and route wiring exactly as original; secure the sensor firmly
• Clean the sensor contact surfaces with rubbing alcohol; residue from dryer sheets or fabric softeners can affect readings

This dishwasher turbidity sensor measures how dirty the wash water is and reports to the control. Replacing a faulty sensor can restore proper cycle times and cleaning performance for consistent results.

• Monitors water clarity/soil level during the wash
• Sends feedback to the control to adjust cycle length, rinses, and heating
• Failure can cause very long or very short cycles
• Can trigger sensor-related fault indications

• Disconnect power at the breaker and shut off water before servicing
• Access the sensor from the bottom near the sump; remove the toe panel if needed
• Unplug the wire harness; release the locking tabs or twist-lock to remove; avoid touching the optical window
• Inspect and reuse the existing seal/retainer if in good condition; seat fully and check for leaks after reassembly

If your dryer takes too long to dry or overheats, the cycling thermostat may have failed. This part regulates heat by cycling on and off. Easy DIY fix.

This sensor monitors water flow inside the dishwasher to ensure proper water circulation during wash and rinse cycles. It sends signals to the control board to regulate water intake and pump operation. Replace this sensor if the dishwasher displays error codes related to water flow, fails to fill properly, or stops mid-cycle due to incorrect flow detection.

Fix incorrect temperature readings or food freezing in your fridge. This temperature sensor monitors cooling accurately. DIY repair in under 30 minutes.

Freezer cold but fridge warm? Excessive frost buildup? Your defrost thermostat may have failed. This sensor controls the defrost cycle timing. Easy DIY fix.

Dryer not heating or running too hot? This high-limit thermostat regulates temperature to prevent overheating. Easy DIY fix takes 30 minutes or less.

Fixes ice buildup in freezer and reduced cooling. This bi-metal defrost thermostat monitors evaporator temperature. DIY-friendly repair, about 20 minutes.

This sensor monitors operating conditions and relays accurate feedback to the control so cycles run properly. Replacing a failed sensor helps restore correct operation and prevent erratic behavior or fault codes. What it does:

• Detects a specific operating condition and sends a signal to the control
• Helps the machine regulate cycle timing and performance
• Can cause error codes, cycles that won't start or advance, or intermittent shutdowns when failing
• Lead to inconsistent temperatures or sensing behavior depending on application

• 1 sensor

• Disconnect power (and shut off gas/water, if applicable) before servicing
• Access the sensor; note wire positions and connector orientation
• Install the new sensor in the same location and orientation; seat connectors fully
• Clear any stored faults and run a test cycle per the tech sheet

Fixes long dry times and temperature issues. This dryer thermostat regulates heat cycling to prevent overheating or underheating. Simple repair.

Ice maker not producing ice or overflowing? Failed thermistor prevents proper temperature monitoring. Direct plug-in replacement restores ice production.
