Scott December 28, 2011 for Model Number WF306LAW/XAA I think the water level sensor is bad on my machine. Can you tell me where this part is located at on this machine? Does the cabinet have to be removed or can it be accerssed from behind or underneath?
1 Answer Hello Scott. If you remove the screws on the back of the top panel, you can slide off the top and access the pressure switch WP34001324 and replace it. Hope this helps. Read More...

1 Answer Hi Scott. This pressure switch is mounted on the top inside. It is on the rt. side clipped into the frame. It has the hose connected to it along with the elect. connector. Easily replaced part # WP34001324. While you have it apart, blow back into the tub and see if there is debris or lint stuck in the opposite end. Remember to clean your entire vent system snd the outside vent hood for proper operation so the lint is not being recycled into the wash tub.

Charlie September 25, 2011 for Model Number MAH8700aww My washer after about 3-5 minutes into the washing cycle it will stop and display error code 3-E. We did run a cycle with the washer empty on the lowest cycle, It did run almost all the way through until the last 1 min of the cycle and displayed the error code 3-E again. What can I do or what should I replace?
1 Answer Hi Charlie. The 3-E code is because the motor tachometer circuit is not being detected. The only way you can repair this is because the motor internal hall - effect sensor failed. The motor is part # WP34001437. Thank you. Read More...
Brad September 24, 2011 for Model Number mah8700aww I have an Error code on my washer, the error code is OE. When I get this code it is after the wash cycle has completed and it is entering the rinse cycle, the water continues to run and fill up the tub and will not shut off. I was told by Whirlpool that it may be the water level sensor but they did not have the error code OE in there system. If I shut the machine off the water continues to run until I shut the water off, I can then turn the water back on and drain the tub and spin. It does not do this on every wash load, it seems to be about every 3 or 4 loads. I was wondering if changing the pressure sensor would correct this problem.
1 Answer Hi Brad. The O-E code is a fault is detected in the water level sensor. Water is at the or above the overflow. Use a cold,small fill and advance the unit into rinse so to get rid of the excess soap or lint debris's that may be lingering. This may induce the code also. Supervise this closely and stop the unit as it fills more than the top of the inner tub baffles. The sensor is part # WP34001324. The washer can use washer magic monthly to keep clean. This part # is TJ131. Thank You. Read More...
Marty July 22, 2011 for Model Number MAH9700AWW Washer would not spin & was advised to change control board. Now it spins but the spin cycle won't spin very fast. Did a service mode check on the spin rpm's. It gets to 180rpm. Would the water level sensor cause this? Marty
1 Answer Hello Marty. Test the motor and make sure it is good. Check motor winding resistance CN9 pins 1 & 3=11.6ohms ±7%, Pins 1 & 2=11.6ohms ±7%, Pins 2 & 3=11.6ohms. ±7%. You may have a bad sensor on the motor WP34001269. Also check for loose connections at the pressure switch, motor, and control board. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps.http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Eric June 28, 2011 for Model Number Amana NFW7200TW 27" front load washer The washer stops and displays nd or Le falts. Would this be a falty pressure sensor (water level sensor)? Is there an ohm check to test the sensor?
1 Answer Hello Eric. Here are the instructions from the manufacture for testing the pressure switch. If the switch test good, try blowing through the pressure hose and make sure it is not clogged. If the hose is good, you may have a bad pressure switch WP34001324. Hope this helps. Water Sensor Check Check Voltage at Pin #6 and #7 of CN3 Reset water level = DC2.5V, 25.8KHz Check Voltage and Frequency at Pin #6 and #8 of CN3 Reset water level = DC2.5V, 25.8KHz You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Jeff April 28, 2011 for Model Number MAH8700AWW My washer on rinse cycle displays a nf code if I add water it will complete the cycle. Do I need this senser, or do I have a water selniod problem.
1 Answer Hello Jeff. First check and make sure the drain hose is not to far into the drain pipe causing the machine to siphon out the water. If it is good, then it sounds like the water valve WP34001248 is the problem. Hope this helps. Read More...
Bob G February 24, 2011 WHAT IS THE FUNCTION OF WATER SENSOR? HOW DO YOU CHECK OUT IF THE SENSOR IS FUNCTIONAL WITH VOLTAGE- OHMS RESISTANCE ELECTRICAL METER? WASHER PROBLEM- IT APPEARS THAT WATER FILL IS TOO LOW, TOTAL WATER FILL TIME IS LESS THAN 5 MINUTES. IS THERE A WATER FILL LEVEL THAT YOU CAN VIEW ON WINDOW DURING WASHER RUN CYCLE WITHOUT ADDING CLOTHES? THANK YOU, BOB G AEROSPACE ENGINEER
1 Answer Hi Bob, these machines are designed to use very little water. It senses the load and fills based on the load size. Usually when this switch fails WP34001324, you will get an error code. Thanks! Read More...
