• Signals the control/timer to stop filling and start the wash or spin
• Helps prevent overfill conditions and incorrect water levels
• Helps resolve symptoms like no fill/long fill, continuous filling, or cycles that won't advance

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before servicing
• Access the control/console area; note wire and hose positions for reassembly
• Transfer the pressure hose and electrical connector to the new switch; ensure the hose is clear, undamaged, and fully seated
• After installation, run a diagnostic or calibration procedure for your model
