Description

This replacement lever operates the overflow/level switch assembly to help the washer detect and respond to water level changes. It restores the mechanical action that tells the control when the tub is full. What it does:

• Moves the overflow/level switch mechanism so the machine can sense water level correctly
• Helps address overfilling, continuous filling, or erratic fill behavior caused by a worn or broken lever
• Restores reliable engagement between the float/actuator and the switch
• Works as the mechanical linkage for the overflow/level sensing assembly

What's included: One replacement lever for the overflow/level switch assembly. Install notes:

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before beginning service.
• Access typically requires removing the cabinet or control console; keep fasteners organized.
• Install the lever so it aligns with the switch actuator and float linkage; verify smooth movement after assembly.
