The Water Level Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This switch is responsible for detecting the water level inside the washer tub and communicating this information to the control board to regulate the filling and draining processes. It ensures that the washing machine uses the correct amount of water for each cycle, optimizing cleaning performance and water usage.

Causes of a bad water level switch can include electrical malfunctions, wear and tear over time, or damage from water exposure. When the water level switch fails, it can disrupt the machine’s ability to fill or drain properly, leading to various performance issues.

Symptoms of a bad water level switch include:

  • The washer not filling with water
  • The washer overfilling with water
  • The washer not advancing through the cycle
  • Inconsistent water levels in the drum

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Answer

Hello M.P., If this failure is displayed, there is a malfunction of the steamer component detected by the Steamer Electronic Board. Check that the pressure hose is connected correctly. Make sure the airtrap is not blocked. Make sure the the hose is not blocked. If suds are detected continuously by the pressure switch during the drain or spin phases, the washer will fi ll 4 liters of water and during 5 minutes the unit will rest without tumbling, the water will be drained and it will try to spin or drain again. If too much detergent was used: Run through a RINSE/SPIN cycle. Run a NORMAL cycle without adding any detergent. This should clear the unit of the excess detergent. Check the drain hose and make sure it is not plugged or kinked. Unplug washer or disconnect power. Check wire harness connections to the drain pump, pressure switch, and Central Control Unit (CCU). Check/clean drain pump filter of foreign objects. Plug in washer or reconnect power. Check drain pump. Check the pressure switch. Verify CCU operation by running a Diagnostic Test or any cycle.
