How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6981040 / W11417619 Water Level Pressure Switch

I called appliance parts pros and told me to replace the water level pressure switch first. But that one didn’t fix the problem. Still giving me LF error code, so I replaced the water valve. That fixed the problem. I could have saved $50 if I didn’t replace the water level pressure switch, but that’s ok at least I didn’t need to pay somebody to put it in and it’s an easy fix. It took me like 10 minutes to remove and put the parts in. It just took me a long time to clean my tiles, where the washer sits. Thank you appliance parts pros. 

With the help of the videos. I replaced the pressure sensor and the water inlet sensor. Couldn’t have been any easier. Noticed a huge difference with the next load of laundry. 

Using info supplied by others connected to this site found only error codes stored were F30 i had my doubts upon a second componet possible causing certian issues at other times, i was in a hurry to head to work, So I ordered a Dispenser Mtr assy, on Wednsday ordered std delivery I expected 2-days Poss 3. The next day Thursday again with info from this and another site I confirmed 2nd componet was erratic on passing diagnostic test. So I ordered 2nd componet a pressure sw. Knowing now unless ordered overnight delivery most likley would not get 2nd part and poss even 1st part untill Mon-Tues of folling week, Again head to work on day-2. Unknown to me untill my wife called latter thur 1st part arrived thur, Well Friday morning like approx 1030 am I was attempting to explain to my wife why I could not get washer running until next week, when a Fed/X truck pulled in, she said maybe your part, I replied not likely, Turns out sure was a press sw, Went to work on reinstalling both components, which were identical to my old ones, put machine threw 3-different wash cycles and washer ran like new once again, no erratic start/stop issues, even though I did not pay nor did I expect to recieve parts fast, which I did thanks Appliance part pros, Don Camden NY 

Fix F-20 with a new water inlet valve and water level pressure switch. Was fast and easy, once pulled out from wall and water lines removed. I think I could have talked my 12 year old through it. Works like new now.

Orderd wate inlet valve and water level pressure switch on Thursday,standard ship, arrived Friday, the next day. Followed the on line video. Had it up and running in an hour. F20 gone and wash time cut in half. Thanks 

Replaced motor in ice maker 

Ordered a washer inlet pressure valve, replaced it following the video instructions and my washer works as well as new! The most difficult part was retrieving pliers dropped inside the the washing machine case. 

After reading other stories I decided to replace both the sensor and the fill valve. I ordered the parts on Friday thinking I would replace them Monday. I actually received them the next day and replaced them right away. The only challenge was the torque screw holding the fill valve. The screw has a security head button in the center. I had to use pliers to remove it. I then replaced it with a different screw. Everything went very fast. 

Replace water valve and level control.
