Description
The Sensor is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool dishwashers. It plays a crucial role in monitoring cycle conditions like temperature and soil levels to automatically customize wash sequences.
Causes of a bad sensor can include leaking or faulty wiring disrupting signals over time, mineral buildup gumming internal mechanisms, or damage from impact.
Symptoms of a bad sensor include:
- Inability to automatically sense load amounts and soils
- Failure to adjust cycles like temperature or spray patterns accordingly
- Erratic heating or repeated odd-cycle behavior
This OEM sensor restores automatic optimization by direct replacement of the original. Compatible models include those from brands like KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Maytag, Amana, and some Kenmore.
