Whirlpool Sensor WPW10548509 OEM Part

Ice Machine Moisture Sensor (Water Level Sensor)

This integral component resides adjacent to the water pump in ice makers. It is designed to be compatible with a range of brands within the Whirlpool family, including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Moreover, Whirlpool also produces parts for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea appliances. This OEM replacement part serves as a temperature sensor tailored for ice makers. Often identified as an ice maker sensor, it is strategically placed in the water pump area to oversee the water level within the reservoir, signaling the control system when replenishment is necessary.

Measuring approximately 3.5 inches by 2.5 inches, the sensor is equipped with an essential wiring connector for installation. It engages the control mechanism to initiate water intake once the water level meets a specified point, thereby ensuring consistent ice production.

Prior to installation, unplug the ice maker to ensure safety. This authentic replacement part, provided directly from the manufacturer, is compatible with models from KitchenAid, Whirlpool, Kenmore, and Jenn-Air.
