Customer Questions and Answers for Water Level Pressure Switch by Whirlpool

This water level pressure switch senses tub water level and signals the control to stop filling and advance the cycle. Replacing a failed switch restores proper fill shut-off and allows the washer to move to wash, drain, and spin.

• Detects water level via air pressure in the attached hose from the tub air dome
• Signals the timer/control to close inlet valves at the selected fill level
• Enables agitation and spin only when the level is appropriate or the tub is empty
• Typical symptoms of a failed switch include overfilling or underfilling, continuous filling, cycle not advancing, or no spin

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing
• Access the switch in the control console or top panel; note wire locations for reassembly
• Transfer the pressure hose and wire connectors to the new switch one at a time; ensure the hose is clear, not kinked or cracked, and fits snugly
• After installation, run a quick fill test to ensure proper shut-off and cycle progression
