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

This water level pressure switch senses air pressure from the tub and tells the control when the correct fill level is reached. Replacing a failed switch restores accurate fills and helps the washer advance through wash, rinse, and spin.

• Monitors tub water level via attached pressure hose and opens/closes contacts to control the inlet valves
• Helps stop filling at the proper level and signals the cycle to continue
• A failed switch can cause constant filling, underfilling, stoppage at "sensing/fill," or failure to advance to wash/spin
• Intermittent or incorrect water levels may also result from issues with the pressure hose

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing
• Access the control/console area to reach the switch
• Transfer the pressure hose and wire connectors to the new switch; ensure the hose is seated tightly with no kinks or cracks
• Secure the switch in its bracket or twist-lock mount; reassemble and test a fill cycle
