Hello W.N.W., I"m sorry but you would need to be an engineer to safely achieve your request. The only pressure switch recommended by the manufacturer for this unit is WPW10448876. If replacing it does not correct the issue, make sure there are no obstructions in the hose or at the opening in the outer tub where the hose connects. If nothing is present in there you will need to replace the control since the problem will be in the electronic control W11031829. You should also run the diagnostic tests to see if there are any fault codes pointing to a door switch or other common cause of the issue.

Steve for Model Number WFW94HEAW

I hesitantly purchased a new Whirlpool Front Loader after my old Whirlpool top loader gave up the ghost after 16 years. I immediately noticed the water level was at 1/4 in in the drum at most. Searching on-line I found this was a common complaint creating odors due to incomplete rinses. I am sure this problem was created due to manufactures meeting government requirements for efficiency. I also found information on-line on adjusting the level with a screw on some older models. The switch on my model does not appear to have any adjustment. Can you tell me if there is any adjustment anywhere else on the machine to overcome this problem? If not can you recommend another switch that I can substitute. I am trained in similar service work and have repaired my own washers for 50 years. I can modify any electrical connections if necessary. Thank you.
