This water level pressure switch monitors tub water height via air pressure and signals the controls to stop filling and move the cycle forward, helping prevent overfilling or underfilling for accurate load-size operation.

• Detects water level through the attached air hose and internal diaphragm contacts
• Signals the control to close inlet valves at the selected level and allows agitation/spin only when safe
• Common symptoms: continuous filling/overfilling, stops filling too early/low water level, or no agitate/spin because the tub is sensed as "full"
• May cause inconsistent or incorrect water levels across settings

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing
• Note or photograph wire positions and transfer to the new switch one-for-one
• Inspect the pressure hose for cracks, kinks, or blockages; ensure an airtight fit on the switch port
• Mount securely in the original location and test with a small load to verify proper fill and operation
