Whirlpool Temperature Sensor WPW10467289 OEM Part

Water Temperature Sensor for Washer/Dryer Combo

The water temperature sensor regulates the heat level within your laundry machine's drum, positioned adjacent to the heating element. It is integral to the optimal functioning of your appliance, especially when startup issues arise. Each sensor can be purchased separately.

This sensor is compatible with a range of brands, including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. It is also designed to fit certain Sears-Kenmore and Ikea models.

Note that the WP8540766 seal is not supplied with this sensor and needs to be ordered independently if needed.

As an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component for Whirlpool washing machines, the water temperature sensor is vital for maintaining the correct temperature throughout the washing cycles.

Possible causes for a failing temperature sensor include typical wear and tear, electronic component stress due to heat, or internal damage from water infiltration.

Indicators of a malfunctioning water temperature sensor may include:

- Difficulty advancing or repeating wash cycles
- Irregular or erroneous temperature measurements
- Activation of warning alarms or error indicators
- Poor cleaning performance even at elevated temperatures

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

Replacing the sensor often resolves issues such as the appliance's inability to initiate its operation.
