Whirlpool WPW10195091 Dishwasher Thermostat
Product Description
The Whirlpool WPW10195091 has become a significant security precaution for your Whirlpool dishwasher. It operates as a high-limit thermostat, which is basically a switch that examines the water temperature throughout the dishwasher. Its purpose is to avoid overheating by shutting off the power to the heating element whenever the water exceeds an excessively high temperature. This safeguards your dishwasher from any damage and reduces the risk of fires. The thermostat is situated near the bottom of the dishwashing tub and monitors water temperature through direct touch. Whenever the water temperature reaches the limit set in advance, the thermostat triggers a switch which switches off the power to the heating element. This keeps the water from heating up, perhaps damaging components or generating steam explosions.
