This water level pressure switch senses air pressure from the tub and signals the control when the correct level is reached. Replacing a failed switch restores proper filling and helps the washer advance through each cycle reliably.
- Monitors tub water level via the pressure (air) hose and sends the signal to stop filling
- Helps prevent overfilling or underfilling so cycles can start and complete properly
- Common symptoms of a failed switch: keeps filling or won't fill, stuck on sensing, won't advance to wash or spin, or drains immediately after filling
- Also called a water level sensor or pressure sensor in some documentation
What's included: 1 water level pressure switch Install notes:
- Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing
- Access the switch near the control/console area; note hose routing and connector position
- Transfer the pressure hose and electrical connector to the new switch; inspect the hose for kinks, cracks, or blockages and ensure an airtight fit
- Restore power and run a quick fill/test cycle to verify normal operation

Before installing the new pressure switch, I...
