Abstract

A low profile conductivity sensor for a laundry washing machine includes a pair of electrodes that extend substantially parallel to a wall of a wash tub of the laundry washing machine to which the low profile conductivity sensor is mounted and that have respective sensing surfaces that are substantially flush with a housing surface of the sensor housing, and in some instances, with a wall of the laundry washing machine, to reduce the collection of lint and/or hair by the low profile conductivity sensor.
