Whirlpool WPW10168263 Temperature Switch Washing Machine

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL WPW10168263 is a 4-position IEC temperature switch designed for use in residential washing machines. This switch controls water temperature selection, allowing the user to cycle through multiple wash temperature settings as part of the machine's control system. It measures 2.0 x 2.12 x 1.12 inches and is an OEM-replacement component. Installation is typically performed by appliance service technicians during routine control repairs or when the existing switch fails to advance or hold a temperature position.

This temperature switch is used in top-load residential washing machines across multiple Whirlpool-manufactured product lines. It is suited for service calls where the washer no longer responds to temperature selection changes or where the selector switch shows signs of physical wear or electrical failure. The part covers a broad range of compatible model numbers, making it a practical stock item for appliance service shops that work on Whirlpool-branded equipment.
