Samsung Dishwasher ECS Temperature Sensor Parts — Models & Compatibility

The ECS temperature sensor assembly (DD82-01118A) is critical for Samsung dishwashers to regulate water temperature during wash cycles. When this sensor fails, your dishwasher might display error codes, fail to heat water properly, or stop mid-cycle. This hub covers compatible Samsung dishwasher models and helps you verify if this is the right replacement part for your unit.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

Before ordering, locate your model number on the door frame or inner edge of your Samsung dishwasher door. Match it against the compatible models list below. This sensor assembly replaces part numbers AP5800460, PS8764598, 3436835, and DD82-01111A — if your original part shows any of these numbers, DD82-01118A is the correct replacement.

About This Temperature Sensor Assembly

The ECS (Electronic Control System) temperature sensor monitors water temperature throughout the wash cycle, sending real-time data to the main control board. It's mounted inside the dishwasher tub and includes both the sensor element and wiring harness. Samsung uses this sensor across multiple series including the DW80F and DW80J lines. When it malfunctions, you'll typically see inconsistent heating, error codes related to water temperature, or cycles that won't complete because the dishwasher can't verify proper water temp.

What You Need to Know Before Installing

This is an electrical component that requires disconnecting power before replacement. The sensor connects to the main wiring harness inside the tub, so you'll need to access the lower spray arm area and potentially remove the lower rack. Make sure you have the dishwasher completely powered off at the circuit breaker — not just turned off at the control panel. Take a photo of the wire connections before disconnecting to ensure proper reconnection.

Why Temperature Sensors Fail

These sensors fail due to prolonged exposure to hot water, mineral buildup from hard water, or electrical issues in the wiring harness. Over time, the sensor element degrades and can't accurately measure temperature. Some failures are sudden — the dishwasher just stops working — while others are gradual, with increasingly inconsistent heating over weeks or months. If you've noticed your dishes aren't getting clean because the water isn't hot enough, this sensor could be the culprit.

Get the Right Part

At $74.99, the DD82-01118A temperature sensor assembly includes everything needed for a complete replacement. Verify your model number matches the compatibility list, and you'll have your Samsung dishwasher heating properly again.
