The Pressure Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This switch monitors the water level inside the washer tub and signals the control board to stop filling and start the wash cycle once the desired water level is reached.
Causes of a bad pressure switch can include electrical malfunctions, wear and tear from regular use, or blockages in the pressure hose that connects to the switch.
Symptoms of a bad pressure switch include:
- The washing machine overfilling or underfilling with water
- The washer not advancing to the next cycle
- Error codes related to water level sensing
- Inconsistent water levels during different cycles
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

After the part arrives, I was double check to make sure I got the right part. Importantly, unplug the electrical power first before do anything, also turn off the water hose for safety.
Then removed 4 screw out side panel and 2 screw in side to get lose.
After all, replaced a new part and put all panel and screw back together.
Finally, plug in electrical power then a water hose and test a new part just installed.
So far so good, seem like everything was function OK.
Again, thanks for your web...
