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

This water level pressure switch senses the tub's water level and tells the control when to stop filling and move to the next stage, helping prevent overfilling and ensuring consistent wash, rinse, and spin performance.

• Monitors air pressure from the tub's air dome to determine water level
• Signals the control/timer to open/close inlet valves and advance the cycle
• Enables agitation and spin only after the target level is reached
• Common failure symptoms: incorrect fill levels, won't advance from fill, pauses mid-cycle, or repeated fill/drain behavior

• Disconnect power before servicing; shut off water supply as a precaution
• Access the switch in the console/top area (location varies by model)
• Move the pressure hose and wire connector(s) to the new switch; secure all connections air-tight
• Inspect the pressure hose for kinks, clogs, or cracks and clear/replace if needed to avoid repeat issues
