Customer Questions and Answers for Water Level Pressure Switch by Whirlpool

Hello Michael. There is no adjustment. The water level should be close to the bottom of the glass. On some cycles you will get more water into the unit. If the level is to low, replace the pressure switch.

Leo, We would need to have the model number to be able to assist properly but in most cases you will want to check the door lock assembly. The door lock has an spin enable switch that may not be making and the unit may not be spinning.

Hello Russell. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the control board WH12X10586 may be the issue more than the pressure switch. You can test the pressure switch on the unit. If it test good, then it sounds like a bad board. 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 Kerry. The water valve WPW10156253 is bad and will need to be replaced.

Jordan, At the bottom of the unit there is a cover there. You will want to remove the 3 screws that would kinda be under the lip of the front and remove the panel. This will give you access to the drain pump to check the filter.

Hello Deborah. NO WATER DETECTED ENTERING MACHINE OR PRESSURE SWITCH TRIP NOT DETECTED. Possible Causes/Procedure If there is no water in the unit: Make sure that both valves at the water source(s) are turned on all the way. Check for plugged or kinked inlet hoses or plugged screens in the inlet valves. Verify inlet valve operation. If there is water in the unit: Verify that the pressure switch hose is in good condition and properly connected to tub and pressure switch. Unplug washer or disconnect power. Verify there is not a siphon problem. Verify wire harness connections to inlet valves, pressure switch, flow meter, and Central Control Unit (CCU). Check all hoses for possible leaks. Plug in washer or reconnect power. Verify pressure switch operation. Verify flow meter operation by blowing air through the part and measuring the resistance. Verify CCU operation by running a Diagnostic test or any cycle.

Hello Jean-Claude. There is not an adjustment that can be made on the water level switch 8182388. Sorry.

Hello Mike. Possible Causes/Procedure Check if pressure hose is fixed correctly. Check if the air trap is not blocked. Check if the hose is not blocked. If all is good, replace the pressure switch on the unit.

Hello David. The impeller can turn and still be bad. If under pressure, if it does not drain, then the drain pump is bad on the unit.

Clint, You will want to make sure that the pressure hose to the pressure switch and to the air trap is installed properly with no clogs and no clogs in the air trap. If this checks ok then the CCU would be the issue with the unit.
