Whirlpool WPW10292584 Water Level Pressure Switch (Auto Load Sensing) OEM Part

I viewed various sites online. On www.shopyourway.com I found some information on how to determine if it was a faulty load sense switch, or faulty timer. On youtube I entered; change load sense switch. I viewed theapplianceman video.I performed the test per shopyourway.com It was a faiIed load sense switch.Prior to the test I checked to make sure my drain tube was not clogged. I ignored applianceman info on cutting clear plastic tube. I did make sure it was not clogged. I ignored his testing with a multimeter.I did view how he took the load sense switch out, and replaced the new part. Just remember to remove the knob on the outside of the panel coordinating with the part first, or the part will not want to come out(lol).UNPLUG the washer prior to anything! I viewed various sites for the part. I decided on AppliancepartsPros.com due to their guarantee on the part being new,and their return policy. There were sites that were cheaper, but they only had 30-90 day return policy. Their staff was professional, and helpful. Their tracking information was great. I was able to order over the phone. The part was easy to install. The washer has worked without any issues. I'm just amazed how easy it was to repair my own washer. Between the online information, youtube videos, and AppliancepartsPros.com schematics/parts I figure I must have saved over $100.00 I'm a diy'er,intermediate skill level.But, even a beginner could do this job. That is how easy it was. I used a towel to protect my washer. I used a plastic paint spatula to open the hinge lid to protect my finish. Oh yeah, one of the hinges fell under the washer. I used my dryer vent cleaning brush to sweep under the washer and push it out. No other parts were needed.

Started with timer, not from APP, first one was broken as ones in the past were. Wife and I installed but did not fix problem. On to Plan B. We blew into the sensor hose and it was clear so we ordered the the switch which was confusing as it went to the fabric softener switch. APP part was cheaper than Sears, when it came in I was at work so my wife popped the control panel off watched the video and in less than 5 mins washer like new. So dont pay for the extended warranties try and do it your self and not only save money but feel good about yourself.

We found a demonstration of the repair on Youtube and watched it first. It was quite easy to repair after watching it on Youtube. We certainly saved some money by repairing it ourselves. Please do not use my full name.

After testing the load sensing switch with a meter(violet -white =120v,pink-white=120v, white-white/red=120v) and not getting any reading I put a jumper wire between the violet wire and the pink wire turned the machine on normal wash and it started to fill.I knew I found the problem.I ordered the switch it came in 2 days it took me longer to take it out of the box then to put it in the Machine, Problem fixed!

After reading your help section and watching an excellent you tube video I purchased the switch. The part arrived very quickly and took about 5 minutes to replace. The washer is working great again. I found parts that were much cheaper but your guarantee and technical help section made the extra money well spent.
