Jt for Model Number 395535 or SM8280867, Whirlpool Ultimate care II Wash Machine

Water dumps onto the floor under machine. Seems that the water level is too high when there is clothing in the machine. Took outside and watched it fill on each load size setting and it fills to the very top of the basket on each setting. I'm guessing from this that it is over flowing. Which failed part would be causing this. Also there is gel looking stuff in the drain tube. look like an algie build up would this have anything to do with the problem I am experiencing? THanks very much.

Answer

Hi. Look with a magnifying glass (if necessary) under the lid and send me the model # so I can send the correct part #'s. It sounds like the pressure switch or the press. switch hose has debris in it or is loose. Remove the hose from the pressure switch and blow back into the tub to see if there are any debris in the hose. If so then replace the hose onto the pressure switch and advance the timer into a spin to reset the unit. I will need the model # to assist you. Thank You.
