Whirlpool wp3387223vp Sensor Electrode Dryer

Product Description

The Whirlpool wp3387223vp is a genuine OEM sensor electrode designed for residential clothes dryers. This component functions as part of the moisture-sensing circuit, detecting residual moisture in the drum load and signaling the control board to extend or end the drying cycle accordingly. It is a direct factory replacement part, meaning it matches the original specifications and mounting configuration without modification. Licensed appliance technicians and experienced DIYers install this part as a routine service item when a dryer runs excessively long or fails to advance past timed dry.

This sensor electrode is used in residential dryer applications where the original moisture-sensing bar or electrode has failed, corroded, or been damaged. It seats inside the dryer drum on the front bulkhead and makes contact with the tumbling load to complete the sensing circuit. When this component fails, the dryer may run continuously, shut off too early, or fail to switch from auto-dry to timed-dry mode correctly. It is appropriate for residential laundry installations serviced under standard appliance repair practices.

Installation Notes
