• Senses tub water displacement/pressure changes so the washer can detect correct fill and load balance
• Helps prevent overfilling and supports proper spin cycles by reporting tub condition to the control
• Commonly replaced when washer overfills, won't start spin, or shows erratic fill behavior

• Disconnect power before accessing internal components to avoid shock
• Mounts to the washer chassis with electrical connector and vacuum/pressure hose; reuse existing hose if undamaged
• Verify hose and fittings are intact and free of blockages before installation

• Protects a water or drain hose from rubbing, abrasion and sharp edges
• Helps maintain proper hose routing to reduce kinks and stress at fittings
• Minimizes wear that can lead to leaking or premature hose failure
• Supports a more reliable seal by reducing hose movement at connection points

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before beginning work
• Slide guard over the hose as shown in the OEM diagram
• Use basic hand tools; avoid sharp bending or cutting the guard during install
• Replace any hoses or clamps that show signs of damage or corrosion
