Washer Switch

Restore proper fill control with this washer water level pressure switch. It senses air pressure from the tub and signals the controls to start or stop filling, helping prevent overfilling and ensuring the correct water level for each cycle.

• Monitors tub water level through the attached air hose and opens/closes switch contacts to control the inlet valves
• Helps prevent overfilling and underfilling by signaling when the selected level is reached
• Common symptoms of a failing switch: overfilling, won't stop filling, incorrect water level, or cycle won't start/advance because level isn't detected
• Replacing a faulty switch can resolve fill/level issues once the pressure hose is clear and intact

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before servicing
• Access the control console; remove the old switch and label/transfer wire connectors
• Move the air tube to the new switch; ensure an airtight, kink-free connection and inspect/clear the tube of debris
• Mount the new switch, reassemble, and run a test fill to verify proper operation

This lid switch detects when the washer lid is closed and signals the control to allow motor operation. Replacing a faulty switch restores normal cycle starts and the washer's safety interlock. What it does:

• Detects lid position and completes the electrical circuit so the washer can start and run.
• Acts as the safety interlock that prevents the motor from running with the lid open.
• A failing switch can prevent the washer from starting, stop spin or agitation, or cause cycles to stop unexpectedly.
• Replaces the lid-actuated switch used in top-load washers' control/interlock system.

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before beginning work.
• May require removing the washer top or control panel to access the switch—keep track of fasteners and connectors.
• Handle electrical connectors gently and verify connections are secure; test the new switch only after restoring power per manufacturer guidance.

The Dispenser Switch is an OEM component for Whirlpool washing machines. Located inside the detergent compartment, it detects when the door is properly closed to enable cycle functions.   

The sensitive switch utilizes durable contacts to reliably connect without false readings due to vibration. Its secure plastic housing contains electronic components regulating additive distribution during selected cycles.

Symptoms of a bad dispenser switch can include:

• Inability to start cycles despite closed door
• Dispenser door fails to lock properly   
• Fault codes relating to dispenser issues  
• Cycles unexpectedly terminating mid-load

Replace yours today with this genuine Whirlpool switch to ensure detergent and other additives activate at optimal times for thorough, even cleaning. Compatible with Kenmore, Maytag, and some Jenn-Air washers.

This lid switch assembly kit is the washer's safety interlock. It detects when the lid is closed so the control can allow the machine to spin, helping restore safe, reliable operation when the original switch fails.

• Senses lid closed and enables the spin cycle
• Prevents spinning with the lid open for safety
• Common failure symptoms: no spin or intermittent spin
• Requires pressing or jiggling the lid to run; no audible "click" when closing the lid

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the switch under the top/console area; remove the old switch/bracket as designed
• Route wiring along the original path and secure away from moving parts
• Align the actuator so the lid reliably engages the switch; test spin operation before reassembly

This water level pressure switch senses the washer tub's water height and signals the control to stop filling. Replaces a failed level sensor to help restore proper fill control and prevent incorrect water amounts. What it does:

• Monitors air pressure from the tub to detect water level and tells the control when to stop or continue filling
• Can cause symptoms such as incorrect fill levels, overfilling, underfilling, or interrupted cycles when faulty
• Works with the washer's control system to ensure cycles progress only when the correct water level is reached
• Requires checking the air hose and connections when diagnosing related issues

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Shut off the water supply and remove the necessary access panels to reach the switch
• Handle the switch and wiring carefully; note connector positions and routing of the air hose for correct reinstallation
• After installation, run a short test cycle and inspect the air hose for secure, leak-free connections
