Multi-sensor assembly for a washing machine appliance

A multi-sensor assembly for a washing machine appliance comprising a cabinet, a wash tub disposed within the cabinet, the wash tub defining a wash chamber, a wash basket rotatably mounted within the wash tub, a motor assembly mechanically coupled to the wash basket for selectively rotating the wash basket, the multi-sensor assembly comprising:

• a housing being mountable to the wash tub, the housing comprising a first portion being disposable within the wash chamber and a second portion being disposable outside of the wash chamber,
• a first sensor assembly disposed at the first portion,
• a second sensor assembly disposed within the second portion, and
• a control board disposed within the housing, the first sensor assembly and the second sensor assembly each being coupled to the control board.
