Kerry November 29, 2020 for Model Number WTW5300VW2 Water level still only at medium. Already replaced the Pressure switch and water level selector on panel. Is water suppose to come up into the pressure switch hose? It comes up about 1/3 of the way.
1 Answer Hello Kerry, the air trap located on the side of the outer tub may need to be cleaned out. Read More...
1 Answer Jackie, With the power button working intermittently then this would most likely be an issue with the user interface board W10402922 which has been discontinued by the manufacturer with no suitable replacement available. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Wanda. 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...

Deric April 25, 2015 for Model Number WTW5550SQO I am trying to remove the water level switch. On several videos it says that there is a locking tab that I use to unloosen the switch. I don't see a switch, so I'm not sure on how to begin to unloosen the switch? I don't want to break anything.
1 Answer Deric, Yes there is a "locking tab" that is mounted to the front of the switch assembly. Once you have the wires labeled, and detached from the switch, disconnect the air tube from the stub on the switch housing. You'll need a small flat blade screw driver (1/8 in. blade) between the locking tab and the metal mounting plate. You need to pry out on the tab until the locking pin disengages the mounting plate, and turn the switch assembly counter clockwise(left) to release it from the plate. reverse the procedure to install the new switch.

Leesa June 03, 2014 for Model Number MTW 5820TWO CANT SEEM TO GET THE WATER LEVEL SWITCH OFF... WATCHED A VIDEO THAT SAYS I HAVE A LITTLE HINDGE CANT FIND...HELP
1 Answer Leesa, There is no hinge on the water valve. This water valve would just twist off. There may be a tab that you have to lift up on but once it is lifted if you just turn counterclockwise it should come off. Make sure that the knob is off. Read More...

Chris February 27, 2013 for Model Number Kenmore 80 Series Washer 110.16882503 I replaced a faulty water level switch about 6 months ago. Last week I replaced a faulty timer. Upon replacing the timer, the water level switch appears to be bad again. I checked the hose and it seems fine. I blew in it and heard the switch click. Is there something that could be shorting out these parts? Time for a new washer? Or is there something that might be causing these parts to fail?
1 Answer Chris, It is a possibility that there is a bad wire in the unit that would cause parts to short out. The timer failing could have also caused the pressure switch to fail. Read More...
