Built-in diagnostic shows control logic ok but shows turbidity sensor failure. In operation machine stops at point of drain (drain does not happen). Unable to find replacement sensor from Maytag. Whirlpool makes these? Any advice re substitute replacement? Can machine be made to run without it? Turbidity has never been an issue as dishes always rinsed before putting in washer and sensor is clean.

This sensor has been discontinued by the manufacturer and is no longer available. It is an electronic part and there is no way to bypass it. Looks like it is a time for a new dishwasher.

Thank you, but that is really not a satisfactory answer. Are thousands of such machines perfectly good otherwise to be thrown away just because mfrs want to sell new ones and refuse to supply a part?? In automotives I believe there are laws against that.

I feel sorry about it, but unfortunately this is very common situation.
