Washer Sensor WPW10178988

Hello Smith, Thank you for contacting us. Very sorry, there is no test for the sensor. At times you might be able to see damaged to the sensor if it is shorted out but not every time. You can try to put the appliance into Diagnostic Test Mode. The washing machine needs to be plugged in and in stand by mode with all indicators off. Choose any one button on the washer's console except Power, Start, or Stop. Press/Hold 3 Seconds - Release 3 Seconds - Press/Hold 3 Seconds - Release 3 Seconds - Press/Hold 3 Seconds. If the diagnostic test mode has been successfully entered, all of the indicator lights will glow for five seconds with 88 on the time display. (If it didn't work try #2 again One one thousand…Two one thousand…Three one thousand) If there are any saved fault codes they will be displayed. If there are no save fault codes all indicator lights will turn off for a moment then back on with 88 displayed and the automatic diagnostic test mode will begin in five seconds. If you are unable to enter the diagnostic test mode, press the power button and verify that the button you were trying to use operates properly to program the washer's cycle function. There may be something wrong with that function button. Find another button on the control that appears to work and try to enter the diagnostic mode with that button. You may also want to verify that the user interface has a good connection to the washing machine control board at the P11 terminal. Pressing the STOP or POWER button at any time to exit the washing machine's diagnostic mode. For the Stator, the motor windings are between 26-36 ohms between any 2 terminals. We hope this helps!
