Description
The Moisture Sensor is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool washing machines. The sensor monitors moisture levels to determine when the appropriate moisture point has been reached, signaling the appliance to advance to the next step in the cycle.
Symptoms of a bad moisture sensor include:
- Inability to advance through entire wash cycle
- Immediate ending of cycle after short period of time
- Sensor may show moisture levels incorrectly
- LED lights indicating error codes related to moisture detection
Causes of a bad moisture sensor can be due to cracks, corrosion, or damage to its sensitive electronic components from impact or overuse. Regular cleaning and maintenance helps extend the life of the moisture sensor.
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
