Abstract

A device (9) for detecting the water temperature in a washing machine, in particular a dishwasher, is described, which comprises at least a temperature sensor (13), a support (12) for carrying said temperature sensor (13), electric connecting means (10) for connecting said temperature sensor (13) to an electronic card (8). The invention is featured in that the support (12), carrying the temperature sensor (13), is obtained on a portion (12) of the electronic card (8), said portion being capable of separation from the remaining portion of the electronic card (8) in order to locate the support (12) carrying the sensor (13) at a remote position with respect to the electronic card (8).
