Whirlpool WPW10548509 Refrigerator Ice Machine Water Level Sensor

The Whirlpool WPW10548509 is an essential component for refrigerators equipped with automatic ice makers. It serves as a water level sensor for an ice maker, precisely. The correct amount of water being dispensed by your ice maker for each cycle of ice cubes is greatly dependent on this sensor. This is how it operates: The sensor is placed inside the water reservoir of the ice maker. The sensor recognizes the rising water level as the ice machine fills the reservoir. The sensor alerts the control board of the refrigerator when the water reaches the predetermined level. In order to avoid overflow and possible water damage, this signal directs the control board to interrupt the water fill cycle. As a protector, the WPW10548509 sensor ensures reliable ice formation.
