Chris H February 08, 2015 for Model Number Maytag MVWc6ES type 849-05 The service tech sheet for this 'maytag' (whirlpool) shows 'level switch' 3356464 (connected to Water Temp Switch). Is it the 'problem part' - given malfunction described below? On Normal - washer starts agitating immediately before water even starts. Does this on many different cycles. Opening/closing lid sometimes gets water to run in - for a while. Before this new problem of 'immediate agitation' - washer would fill to a low level, then agitate. We could get additional water to add by opening and closing the lid. Any suggestion if this is not the problem? Thanks
1 Answer Chris, The most likely cause for the unit to not work would be the auto load switch part number WPW10292584. Read More...
Jerry H August 09, 2013 for Model Number 110.92596100 Kenmore Washer. Unit did not pump out. Installed new drain pump and pumped water out with new pump. Reassembled washer. Went to use washer & washer did not stop filling. Big mess. Installed new water level switch (ap30119660). Reassemble water keeps coming in on wash, rinse etc with washer plugged into outlet. Unplug from outlet, water stops. Everything looks hooked up correct. Followed old wiring colors on new switch. Vacuum hose air tight when holding one end and sucking in. When hose unhooked from tub water spews out as tub full. Hose s/b OK. I do not know how to check wiring if that is recommended, but could follow suggested procedure checks. Tub is full of water but I think it should empty anyway. I think if I let water run too much it will overflow and it should sense sufficient water in tub to quit filling. I'm on city water & pressure adequate. Suggestions? I'll try anything.
1 Answer Hello Jerry. Drain out all the water then blow through the pressure switch hose. Clear the air dome on the tub assembly. Now, install the hose onto the pressure switch and take it for a test spin. Read More...
Ronnie S November 21, 2012 for Model Number Kenmore 11092586210 My washer ran over into the floor. Had to turn water off to stop the flow. Washer cycles correctly when the proper water level is reached but the water keeps flowing unless I turn the water off. What could be the problem? Thanks Ronnie
1 Answer Hello Ronnie. If you can stop the water from entering the machine by turning off the timer or unplugging the unit, you will need to look for a bad pressure hose or replace the pressure switch. If the only way to shut off the water is at the shut off for the water hoses, you will need to replace the water valve in the unit. Read More...
