By: Whirlpool
Part Number: OEM18056652
Manufacturer Part Number: WPW10292584

This auto load sensing water level pressure switch monitors the tub's water level via the air hose and signals the control to start or stop filling. It helps prevent underfilling or overfilling for consistent wash performance. What it does:

  • Senses tub water level through air pressure and communicates with the control/timer
  • Regulates automatic load-size fill by cycling the inlet valve circuit
  • Addresses symptoms such as won't fill, won't stop filling/overfills, underfills, or cycle not advancing due to water-level detection issues
What's included:
  • One load-sensing water level pressure switch
Install notes:
  • Disconnect power and shut off water supply before servicing
  • Access the console/top to release and remove the switch
  • Transfer wire connectors and the pressure hose one at a time; ensure the hose is seated fully and not cracked, kinked, or obstructed
  • Do not adjust any calibration screws; mount in the same orientation and reassemble

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Water Level Pressure Switch (Auto Load Sensing) (Part Number: OEM18056652)

1 Answer

Hello Don. You need to check and see if the unit is siphoning out the water through the drain hose. If it continues to fill, but does not agitate or overflow, it is a siphoning issue with the unit.

Hello Elu. Based on the information you provided, the timer WPW10187167 and the sensor switch WPW10292584. Both of these parts are locked inside the control panel and need to be replaced for the issue you are having. Hope this helps.

Rick, You want to check or replace the air dome hose WP353244 make sure there are no kinks, clogs,twists,etc. If the hose is OK, then replace the sensor switch WPW10292584 This switch controls the water level and can act erratic when the printed circuit board inside the switch begins to fail, or theres a loose connection in the harness connector. Good Luck and Thanks

Gizmo, The only available check , at this time is, 120 VAC on the Blue/Orange wire at the load sense switch in a fill /wash cycle. We have no resistance or continuity checks at this time. If you have no clogs, kinks or twists in the air tube from the sensor switch to the connector on the right rear of the tub, and you have voltage into the switch, you'll need to replace the switch. Thanks and Good Luck

Hello Phillip. Blow through the pressure hose and make sure it is not clogged. Also make sure it is not cut or broke. If the hose is good and the air dome on the side of the tub is not clogged, you will need to replace the sensor switch WPW10248240. Hope this helps.

Hello Joe. If the water is draining out of the machine, while the unit is filling, you will need to check and see if to much drain hose is inside the drain pipe. There should only be about 6 to 8" inside the drain pipe. This will cause the unit to siphon out the water entering the tub. Hope this helps.
