Gerald F Crowley , LA May 09, 2016 Appliance: Whirlpool Washer WTW57ESVW1 Whirlpool Washer Wtw57esvw1: I have an older whirlpool top load washer that would not fill properly. How to replace Temperature Switch. By reviewing comments made by other owners of the same model washer, it was determined that the temperature switch was the culprit. From watching a YouTube video that demonstrated the replacement of this part, I decided to take the repair on myself. The part was received in 2 days as promised (I paid for express shipping). From the time I turned off the water to the washer, I was in and out in less that 15 minutes. Saved myself $150 for a service call. Also, what I paid for the part, plus expedited shipping, was less that my local part supplier wanted for the same part. Time well spent. By the way, the only tool required was a putty knife, to release the control panel from the machine cabinet. 1 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes
