Hello Phillip. Water Level and Pressure Transducer Calibration This test checks the water level sensing components, and calibrates the pressure sensor. 1. Unplug washer or disconnect power. 2. Access the machine/motor control assembly. See Accessing & Removing the Electronic Assemblies, at right. 3.

Drain the tub until all water has been removed from tub. 6. Remove all clothes from the machine. 7. Calibrate the pressure transducer: ? See Activation of Manual Diagnostic Test Mode, page 2, and perform steps 1 and 2 until the display shows 00 and the Add A Garment indicator LED is flashing. ?

Hello Phillip. This is actually normal for these models. They have 2 pressure switches. One for wash and one for rinse. Rinse only fills half way. It is the way it is designed.

Hello Melinda. Drain the unit and blow through the pressure hose to clear any blockages in the unit. If it still does not work, replace the switch.

Hello Goosehunter10876. On the pressure switch , it should read closed across Violet and Pink when empty. If not, replace the pressure switch. If it is closed, then it leads to the temperature sensor on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html

Hello Frank. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the water valve WPW10144820 is bad and will need to be replaced in the unit. Hope this helps.

Frank, you will need to check the water inlet valve. If the water inlet valve is bad it can cause the machine to fill when not in use or continously fill when started. An easy way to check the inlet valve to see if it is defective is to start the washer and let it fill. Unplug the unit, if it continues to fill then the inlet valve is bad and needs to be replaced. We will need your appliance model number to verify the parts used on your product. Thanks.

David, we are unable to ship outside of the US at this time and would need a US physical address to ship parts to. Thanks!
