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.
