140000401061 Genuine Turbidity Sensor for Electrolux Group Dishwashers, Dishwasher Water Clarity Sensor Replacement

140000401061 is a genuine Electrolux turbidity sensor. It measures how cloudy the wash water is, which tells the machine how dirty the load is and how much more washing or rinsing it needs. We've listed it for Electrolux group dishwashers, where these sensors are most common, but there's no model list on file. Check your parts list or the old sensor before ordering.

What a turbidity sensor does in a dishwasher

The sensor shines light through the water and measures how much gets through. Clear water means clean dishes, while cloudy water means there's still food soil to shift. Automatic and sensor programs use that reading to set water use, temperature and cycle length. When the sensor fails, or its window gets coated in grease or scale, the machine may run unusually long or short cycles, leave dishes dirty on auto programs or show a sensor error. Cleaning the sensor window is worth trying first.

Replacing the turbidity sensor

Unplug the dishwasher and turn off the water tap. The sensor normally sits in the sump or pump housing under the tub, so lay towels down for trapped water. Note the plug and seal position, fit the new sensor with its seal seated evenly, and run a rinse program to check for leaks.

Questions about this part

Does this turbidity sensor also measure temperature?

It's listed simply as a turbidity sensor. Electrolux sells a combined temperature and turbidity sensor under a different number, so check which one your parts list calls for before ordering.
