The Whirlpool WP8578335 Washer Temperature Switch is a critical component that controls water temperature during wash cycles in Whirlpool washing machines. It detects user-selected temperature settings and sends signals to the washer's control board. This control board then instructs the machine to alter the water intake valves to obtain the specified hot, cold, or warm water temperature levels. A correctly functioning temperature switch ensures that your clothing is cleaned at the appropriate temperature for the fabric type, resulting in a thorough clean that does not damage delicate goods. The switch contributes to energy efficiency by reducing needless heating of water. If you're having trouble with wrong wash temps in your Whirlpool washer, the WP8578335 Temperature Switch could be the system.
