This water level pressure switch senses the tub's water level and relays it to the washer's control. Replacing a failed switch restores proper filling and cycle progression while helping prevent overfilling, underfilling, or long-fill interruptions.

  • Monitors air pressure from the tub to determine water level
  • 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
What's included: 1 water level pressure switch Install notes:
  • 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

Bob for Model Number LSR8233EQO

Our washer seems to run ok and the water levels seem to be right, but as it goes through its cycles about every other load it gets to the spot on the dial- after the washer fills in either the wash mode or the rinse mode but always after it fills it studers. At first I thought it was the control dial, but when this happens you can change the load size setting and the wash will take off again- either to keep filling if we changed to a larger load or start the next cycle if we chose a smaller load. So im trying to decide if its the control knob or water level switch? Thanks.

Answer

Hi Bob. Since this is happening after a water fill then you have a pressure water level switch. Part # W10820051 that is defective. Also make sure that the water valve inlet screens are clear. You can flush them out or replace the water valve part # 285805. The cold water will clog a lot faster since the hot water falls in the bottom of the heater, it naturally will clog and slow the rinse water since it is mostly cold water fill. Thank You.
