How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6018881 / WPW10292584 Water Level Pressure Switch (Auto Load Sensing)

Started with timer, not from APP, first one was broken as ones in the past were. Wife and I installed but did not fix problem. On to Plan B. We blew into the sensor hose and it was clear so we ordered the the switch which was confusing as it went to the fabric softener switch. APP part was cheaper than Sears, when it came in I was at work so my wife popped the control panel off watched the video and in less than 5 mins washer like new. So dont pay for the extended warranties try and do it your self and not only save money but feel good about yourself. 

We found a demonstration of the repair on Youtube and watched it first. It was quite easy to repair after watching it on Youtube. We certainly saved some money by repairing it ourselves. Please do not use my full name. 

After testing the load sensing switch with a meter(violet -white =120v,pink-white=120v, white-white/red=120v) and not getting any reading I put a jumper wire between the violet wire and the pink wire turned the machine on normal wash and it started to fill.I knew I found the problem.I ordered the switch it came in 2 days it took me longer to take it out of the box then to put it in the Machine, Problem fixed! 

After reading your help section and watching an excellent you tube video I purchased the switch. The part arrived very quickly and took about 5 minutes to replace. The washer is working great again. I found parts that were much cheaper but your guarantee and technical help section made the extra money well spent. 

After reading other comments by customers I was able to determine that it was the water level sensor switch and not the timer. I spoke to one of the technicians and he agreed with my diagnosis. The past arrived in 2 days and was very easy to install. Worked perfectly. 

Whirlpool washer suddenl started agitating while filling and would spray water at end of spin. Replaced with this part and fixed the problem! Easy install, fast shipping. 

Replaced this part and machine works fine. 

Replaced timer and sensor switch. It may not have needed both the timer and sensor switch but based on Q and A on the APP website I replaced both parts which corrected the malfunction. The parts were delivered the day after being ordered. 

After reading the reviews on this site, I decided that the water level control needed to be replaced on my washing machine. I removed the clear hose and blew in it to check for a clog. It was clear. My husband removed the part and took the compressor to it. It still did not operate properly. told my problem to Appliance Part Pros and they indicated that chances are that the water level control is faulty. I ordered the part and it arrived in two days. It fixed my problem! The price was the cheapest I could find too! I will always refer to this site with any future problems I have with appliances!!! 

We tried the procedure recommended(opening/shutting the lid a number of times) but did not work. We then replaced the sensor switch and this took care of the problem.
