Whirlpool WP9741678 Dishwasher Bi-metal

The Whirlpool WP9741678 Dishwasher Bi-metal is an essential component for dishwasher operation, acting as a thermal switch to regulate temperature throughout wash cycles. The temperature of the heating element is monitored and managed by this bi-metal thermostat, which guarantees peak performance and guards against overheating. Fitted inside the heating system of the dishwasher, it responds to temperature variations by bending or flexing to either permit or block the flow of electricity to the heating element. For effective and efficient cleaning, this sensitive system keeps the temperature at the proper levels. The bi-metal prolongs the life of the heating element, reduces energy consumption, and shields fragile dishware from overheating by controlling the heat output.
