Description

This is the washer's water level switch that senses tub level via air pressure and provides five selectable fill settings. Replacing a failed switch restores accurate filling and lets the cycle advance properly through wash, rinse, and spin.

• Monitors air pressure from the tub to detect actual water level
• Controls the inlet valves to start/stop filling at the selected setting
• Signals the timer/control to begin agitation and advance the cycle once full
• Common symptoms: overfilling or water keeps running, stops filling too soon or won't fill, inconsistent water levels, cycle won't advance due to incorrect level detection

What's included: 1 water level pressure switch with 5-position rotary selector Install notes:

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing
• Access the control console; remove the selector knob/dial and panel as needed
• Note wire locations (take a photo), move the harness, and transfer the pressure hose; ensure the hose is clear and firmly seated
• Securely mount the new switch, reassemble the console/knob, restore utilities, and test each fill level
