Answer

Joel, The manufacturer has not supplied any crcuit information for testing this switch, at this point. Based on experience and several repair posts, you'll need to do a process of elimination, in your case, as long as the air dome hose from the switch to the side of the tub, is not kinked, twisted or clogged, and there are no loose wire connections at the switch, and there is a sufficient amount of water supplied to the fill valve . You'll need to replace the switch assembly WPW10248240. Good Luck and Thanks
