4.89 (64)
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: OEM20943129
Manufacturer Part Number: W11417619

This water level pressure switch senses air pressure from the tub and signals the control to stop filling at the correct level. Replacing a weak or failed switch restores proper filling, helps prevent over/underfilling, and allows cycles to advance.

  • Monitors tub water level via the pressure hose and sends the level signal to the control
  • Stops water flow at the target level so wash, rinse, and spin can begin
  • Common symptoms of a failing switch: continuous filling, overfilling or underfilling, cycle won't advance past fill/sensing, or stops with water still in the tub
  • A cracked, kinked, or blocked pressure hose can mimic switch failure—inspect during diagnosis
What's included: 1 water level pressure switch Install notes:
  • Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing
  • Access the switch from the console/top or rear panel per your model; note wire orientation
  • Transfer and firmly seat the pressure hose; inspect it for kinks, cracks, or blockages and replace if damaged
  • After installation, run a fill test; some models may require a diagnostic calibration—see the tech sheet or user manual

Answer

Melissa, The F21 and the SD error codes would indicate an issue in the water level switch W11417619 or air tube W11252474 between the switch and the drain pump, since you've eliminated the drain pump and hoses as the possible problem. Disconnect the air tube from the water level switch, Blow in the end of the hose, check and make sure the hose isn't kinked or twisted, etc. Blowing into the hose will usually clear any sediment or debris that accumulated inside the air tube. If the F21 or SD issue persists, replace the water level switch.
