Description
The Water Temperature Switch is an OEM part compatible with Whirlpool washing machines. This switch monitors incoming water temperatures to ensure they fall within the thresholds required for selecting dependent wash cycles. It plays an important safety function by preventing the activation of vulnerable "hot" cycles if water is too cool.
Causes of a bad water temperature switch can include failures from repetitive heating/cooling cycles, mineral deposits obstructing sensors over time, or defective temperature sensing mechanisms.
Symptoms of a bad water temperature switch include:
- Inability to select high-temperature cycles
- Fault codes related to water supply temperatures
- Potential improper washing if the temperature reading is inaccurate
This OEM Whirlpool replacement helps maintain precise sensing to optimize cycle selection.
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
This part fixes the following symptoms
- No hot or cold water
