The Water-Level Pressure Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool washers. It is responsible for monitoring the water level inside the washer's tub during different cycles. This switch detects changes in air pressure as the water level rises or falls, communicating these variations to the washer's control board.
Symptoms of a faulty water-level pressure switch include:
- Incorrect water levels during the wash cycle
- Washer not filling or draining properly
- Error codes related to water level
A bad water-level pressure switch can occur due to various factors, such as clogs or blockages in the air hose, a malfunctioning switch mechanism, or electrical issues. If you notice problems such as the washer not filling or draining properly, water levels that are too high or too low, or error codes related to water level, it may be time to replace the water-level pressure switch.
This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
