WPW10248240 Whirlpool Temperature Switch

The Temperature Switch is a genuine OEM replacement part designed for use in Whirlpool front-load washing machines. This component is crucial as it regulates the water temperatures throughout the heating cycles within the machine. It is situated within the washer itself.

Over time, the temperature switch may malfunction due to wear and tear on its internal components or from consistent exposure to varying water temperatures during wash cycles. This can result in a few noticeable issues, such as the inability to heat water to the desired temperatures or experiencing unpredictable water temperatures during washing cycles.

Whirlpool manufactures this part, and it is also compatible with several other brands under its umbrella, including Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, and Roper, as well as with certain Kenmore and Norge models. This part is also used in appliances sold by Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.
