  • 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:

  • Transfer the pressure hose and electrical connector to the new switch; ensure the hose is clear, undamaged, and fully seated

Answer

Hello Suzanne. If the washer doesn't fill and the water continues to run, you will need to check the drain hose and make sure it is not to far inside the drain pipe. If so, this will cause the water to siphon out of the machine. If the problem is that the water does not shut off and overflows the machine, then you could have a bad pressure switch W10820051 or water valve 285805. If the pressure switch is bad, you will be able to stop the water with turning the timer off. If you have to turn the water off at the shut off, you will need to change the water valve. Hope this helps.
