Ice Maker Bin Temperature Sensor Obid WPW10511923 for Whirlpool

Description

Product Overview

The Ice Maker Bin Temperature Sensor from Obid, part number WPW10511923, is engineered to replace the original sensor in Whirlpool freezer ice makers with a perfect fit and reliable performance. Constructed from high‑grade polymer housing and a precision‑calibrated thermistor, the sensor delivers accurate temperature readings to the control board, ensuring the ice maker operates within optimal thermal parameters. This compatibility extends to part numbers W10511923, 3021097, AP6022509, and PS11755842, making it a versatile solution for a range of Whirlpool models. The sensor’s compact form factor allows it to be installed directly into the ice bin without the need for additional brackets or modifications. Its robust internal wiring resists corrosion and wear, providing long‑term durability even in the harsh, moist environment of a freezer compartment. Designed for easy DIY installation, the sensor includes clear labeling and a plug‑and‑play connector that aligns with the existing harness, reducing downtime and service costs.

Usage

Homeowners and service technicians alike will find this sensor ideal for restoring full ice‑making functionality after a failure. The sensor is suited for residential freezers, compact under‑counter units, and commercial ice‑maker installations that rely on Whirlpool‑branded control systems. During installation, the user simply removes the defective sensor, disconnects the wiring harness, and inserts the new WPW10511923 unit, ensuring the connector clicks securely into place. Once installed, the freezer’s control board will immediately begin receiving temperature data, allowing the ice maker to resume its cycle without manual recalibration. This sensor is particularly valuable in environments where consistent ice production is critical, such as in home entertaining, small office break rooms, or hospitality settings where ice is a daily necessity. Its reliable temperature monitoring helps prevent ice over‑freezing, which can cause motor strain, and also avoids under‑freezing, which leads to incomplete ice cubes. By maintaining the correct bin temperature, the sensor contributes to energy efficiency, as the freezer does not need to run longer than necessary to achieve the desired ice quality.

FAQ

How do I know if the sensor is compatible with my Whirlpool freezer?

Check the original part number printed on the failed sensor; if it matches W10511923, 3021097, AP6022509, or PS11755842, the Obid WPW10511923 is the correct replacement. The product description also lists these part numbers for quick reference.

Can I install the sensor myself, or do I need a professional?

The sensor is designed for DIY installation. It requires only basic tools—typically a screwdriver to remove the old sensor and a gentle pull of the wiring connector. No soldering or specialized equipment is needed.

What warranty does Obid offer on this sensor?

Obid provides a one‑year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. If the sensor fails within this period, contact the seller for a replacement or refund.

Will installing this sensor affect the energy consumption of my freezer?

By delivering accurate temperature data, the sensor helps the freezer operate efficiently, preventing unnecessary over‑cooling cycles. This can lead to modest energy savings over time compared to a malfunctioning sensor that forces the unit to run longer.

Is the sensor suitable for commercial ice makers?

Yes, the sensor’s robust construction and reliable performance make it appropriate for both residential and light‑commercial ice‑making units that use Whirlpool control boards.
