Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL wpw10178988vp is an OEM replacement sensor designed for use in Whirlpool appliances.

This part is manufactured to original equipment specifications, making it a direct-fit replacement for the failed or worn sensor it replaces. Installation is typically performed by appliance service technicians or experienced trades professionals during a diagnostic repair visit.
