Customer Questions and Answers for Pressure Switch (Water Level) by Whirlpool

This pressure switch senses and controls the washer's water level so the appliance fills correctly and avoids overfilling. Replaces a failed switch to address common fill issues and restore normal fill operation. What it does:

• Detects water level via the pressure/air tube and signals the control to stop or continue filling.
• Helps prevent overfill and underfill conditions by regulating fill amount.
• Common replacement for symptoms such as overfilling, no-fill, or improper fill levels.
• Works with the washer control to advance cycles when correct fill is reached.

• Disconnect power and shut off water before servicing to avoid shock or water damage.
• Handle the pressure hose/tube carefully; ensure it is clear, correctly routed, and tightly connected to avoid false readings.
• Reconnect the electrical connector and secure any clips or fasteners; test a short cycle to confirm proper operation.
