Customer Questions and Answers for Washer Water Level Pressure Switch by Whirlpool

This is the washer's water level pressure switch. It senses the tub's water level and tells the control when to start/stop filling and when to advance the cycle. Replacing a failing switch restores accurate fill levels and reliable cycle progression. What it does:

• Monitors tub water level via air pressure through the attached hose
• Opens/closes the inlet valve circuit to stop or start water fill
• Signals the timer/control to advance to wash, rinse, and spin at the correct level
• Common failure symptoms: overfilling or won't stop filling, won't fill, cycle won't advance, or won't agitate/spin

• 1 water level pressure switch

• Disconnect power and shut off water before servicing
• Lift/remove the control console to access the switch
• Label and transfer wires; move the pressure (air dome) hose to the new switch and ensure a snug, unkinked connection
• Inspect the hose for cracks, kinks, blockages, or water inside; reassemble and run a test fill to operation
