Whirlpool Sensor W11096092 OEM Part

The Washer Dispenser Drawer Sensor serves as an OEM part specifically crafted for use in Whirlpool washing machines. This sensor functions in concert with the machine’s control unit, enabling it to monitor wash cycle progression and modify settings as needed. It is designed to withstand the conditions of moisture, lint, and mechanical wear encountered during normal washer operations.

Whirlpool's extensive brand portfolio includes Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Furthermore, Whirlpool produces select items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.

Over time, a sensor may malfunction due to regular usage, build-up of residues that impede its performance, or physical damage like impacts or bending of its internal parts.

Indications of a malfunctioning sensor include:

- Inability to detect whether the washer is empty or to accurately gauge the load size
- Incorrect readings of temperature or moisture levels
- Erratic washer operation or prematurely concluding wash cycles

This particular Whirlpool component is also compatible with appliances under the Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and certain Kenmore brands.
