For Whirlpool Water Level Pressure Switch (Washer) (Part Number: OEM13704444)

Vanessa June 05, 2013 for Model Number lsr5132pq0

2 issues 1st water keeps on filing, I took the wl switch and hose apart applied pressure to wl machine stopped but when I hooked up the hose it kept on filing.( blew into hose and heard air come out through washer;(bubbles).' 2nd issue washer wont agitate or drain

1 Answer

Vanessa, 1. water continues filling. start the washer, while it's filling unplug the power cord. If the washer continues to fill, replace the fill valve 285805. If the water stops, you'll need to replace the water level switch and air tube W10339228. 2. The washer should fill and agitate with the lid open, but won't spin or drain unless the lid is closed. Did you notice if there were any loose or damaged wires at the timer, when you checked the pressure switch ? You'll want to check the drain pump and make sure it is not clogged with a small article or the impeller bearing/pulley is not seized. Then test the motor windings with a meter (terminal 1 to5 and terminal 3 to 4 should have a "closed" circuit or resistance when tested. If the circuits are closed replace the timer WP8546681 if one of the circuits is "open" replace the motor WP661600.
