OEM temperature sensor that monitors and helps regulate wash-water temperature; it is installed in the heating element on applicable washer models.

Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Erratic or inconsistent water-temperature readings
• Temperature-related fault codes, such as F05/F24 on applicable models
• Cycle stopping or failing to advance normally
• Poor wash results when heated-water performance is expected

Check Before Replacing

• Disconnect electrical power before inspecting or testing the sensor.
• Inspect the sensor connector and nearby wiring for loose connections, corrosion, or visible damage.
• Use the washer’s model-specific service diagnostics to check for temperature-sensor faults; do not assume the sensor is defective from a symptom alone.
• With power disconnected, measure sensor resistance at the designated connector terminals and compare it with the resistance range in the appliance’s model-specific tech sheet. An open circuit or resistance outside the specified range indicates the sensor requires further evaluation or replacement.
• If the sensor resistance is within specification, continue checking the harness and control circuit according to the model-specific service procedure.
