Whirlpool WPW10705575 Dishwasher Turbidity Sensor

The Whirlpool WPW10705575 Dishwasher Turbidity Sensor is a critical component that helps your Whirlpool dishwasher keep dishes clean. This sensor, which keeps an eye on the quality of the wash water, is situated next to the pump sump at the dishwasher's bottom. The way it operates is by calculating the amount of light that can go through the liquid. Light transmission is reduced by cloudiness brought on by food particles and soap residue, indicating that more washing is required. The sensor sends this information to the control unit of the dishwasher, which then uses it to either prolong the wash cycle or start a second rinse cycle until the sensor finds enough clear water to give your dishes a sparkling clean.
