Harry January 01, 2013 for Model Number 110.26791691 Is there a video on how to replace the water level switch? I think that is our problem. We have a water miser and not only does the washer not fill all the way, but it doesn't fill all the way for the rinse either. It pumps only part of the water out of the sink, for the water miser....like it is set on small load instead of big load. I would hate to spend the money on the part, if it won't fix the problem, because this is an older machine. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Harry, We do not have a video on how to replace the water level switch. You should check to make sure that your pumps and hoses are clear. Also check your pressure hose to make sure that it is not clogged or kinked which would also cause the issue. To replace the pressure switch you would unplug unit and on either end of the control panel use a putty knife and get under the panel or there may be 2 screws to take out. This will release the control panel. You will roll the control panel up and there are 2 clips under the control panel that hold the cabinet to the rear panel. release these clips. This will allow you access to the pressure hose and you can pull the knob off the pressure switch and take pressure switch off. Read More...
Matt October 17, 2012 for Model Number 110.26702693 My washer doesn't fill up with water all the way. It's sort of like its stuck on the small load setting all the time. Could it be the water level switch?
1 Answer Hello Matt, The pressure switch hose should be checked first. If it is clear, the pressure switch W10820051 is most likely the issue. Read More...
Ken May 06, 2012 for Model Number ras6233kq2 Water continues to run never filling up except on delicate cycle ? Thanks for any help
1 Answer Hello Ken. It sounds like the unit is siphoning the water out of the unit. You need to check and make sure ther is only 6" of drain hose in the drain pipe and that there is an air gap at the drain pipe and the hose is not air tight in the pipe. Read More...
Bett December 29, 2011 for Model Number RAS7133KQ1 My washer will not stop filling with water but will agitate the clothes. What are the possible problems?
1 Answer Hello Bert. If you can stop the water by turning off the power to the machine, you will need to replace the pressure hose or switch W10820051. If the water has to be turned off at the shut off, you will need to replace the water valve 285805. Hope this helps. Read More...
Bob December 28, 2011 for Model Number LSR8233EQO Our washer seems to run ok and the water levels seem to be right, but as it goes through its cycles about every other load it gets to the spot on the dial- after the washer fills in either the wash mode or the rinse mode but always after it fills it studers. At first I thought it was the control dial, but when this happens you can change the load size setting and the wash will take off again- either to keep filling if we changed to a larger load or start the next cycle if we chose a smaller load. So im trying to decide if its the control knob or water level switch? Thanks.
1 Answer Hi Bob. Since this is happening after a water fill then you have a pressure water level switch. Part # W10820051 that is defective. Also make sure that the water valve inlet screens are clear. You can flush them out or replace the water valve part # 285805. The cold water will clog a lot faster since the hot water falls in the bottom of the heater, it naturally will clog and slow the rinse water since it is mostly cold water fill. Thank You.

Debby July 13, 2011 for Model Number LSQ8543JQ0 My water Level Switch Knob stem broke off at the switch. I would like to replace the switch with WHIRLPOOL Water Level Switch (Part Number: AP4567832). Will the old switch simply unplug from the wiring harness so I can plug in the new one, or is there rewiring involved. I believe I will also have to disconnect/reconnect the sensor hose (tubing) - is that right? Don't want to pay $60 for a new switch that I can't install. Thank you.
1 Answer Hello Debby. You old wiring harness should unplug off the old switch and onto the new one. You will need to remove the pressure hose from the tub and install the new pressure hose to the tub and the new pressure switch W10820051. The old switch you will need to release the tab and turn it to remove it from the control panel. Then put in the new switch and turn it until it locks into place. Hope this helps. Read More...
Diana June 14, 2011 for Model Number 11026422500 I change my water level switch AP4567832. My washer either it keeps filling up or stop in a small load even if its in a full load. I put back the old switch and its doing the same thing. What could be my problem?
1 Answer Hello Diana. When you replaced the switch, did you change the pressure hose as well? If not, you will need to change the hose and the switch. If so, you may have a bad water valve 285805. Hope this helps. Read More...
Diana June 07, 2011 for Model Number 11026422500 I turn my washer on and it over flooded, it doesnt stop. If its the water level switch how can I test it?

Suzanne May 09, 2011 for Model Number LSR7333PQ4 Washer doesn't fill, water just keeps running. What part(s) is/are the most likely culprit. Have tried all wash settings.
1 Answer Hello Suzanne. If the washer doesn't fill and the water continues to run, you will need to check the drain hose and make sure it is not to far inside the drain pipe. If so, this will cause the water to siphon out of the machine. If the problem is that the water does not shut off and overflows the machine, then you could have a bad pressure switch W10820051 or water valve 285805. If the pressure switch is bad, you will be able to stop the water with turning the timer off. If you have to turn the water off at the shut off, you will need to change the water valve. Hope this helps. Read More...
