• Helps maintain a watertight connection when properly secured with clamps
• Typical failure signs: dripping or puddling under the unit, visible cracks/kinks/bulges, or lingering dampness
• A restricted or leaking hose can contribute to long fill times or incomplete cycles

• 1 inlet hose

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Place towels or a shallow pan to catch residual water
• Note the original routing and clamp locations; install the new hose the same way without twists or kinks
• Fully seat hose ends and secure clamps; restore water and run a brief fill to check for leaks

Symptoms of a bad water level pressure switch:

• Washing machine not filling with water or not stopping when the desired water level is reached
• Excessive water intake, leading to overfilling and potential leaks
• Error codes or indicators related to water level issues
• Washing machine not advancing to the next cycle due to incorrect water level detection

Causes of a bad water level pressure switch can include mechanical failure, electrical malfunctions, or blockages or debris preventing accurate water level readings.

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore washing machine models.

This filter assembly is the appliance's line noise filter. It conditions incoming AC power and suppresses electrical interference to protect sensitive controls and help restore stable, reliable power when the original filter has failed. What it does:
