Description

This water level pressure switch senses the washer's water height and signals the control to start, stop, or change cycles—helping maintain correct fill levels for reliable wash performance. Ideal when fill problems or cycle issues occur. What it does:

• Detects water level in the tub and tells the washer control when to stop filling
• Helps prevent overfilling or underfilling that can cause poor wash results
• Can cause erratic cycle behavior, failure to advance, or long fill times when faulty
• Works with the machine's control board via the pressure hose and electrical connector

What's included: One water level pressure switch. Install notes:

• Disconnect power and shut off water before replacing the switch.
• Remove the control console or access panel as needed and note connector/hose positions.
• Handle the pressure hose carefully; ensure a snug, leak-free connection when reinstalled.
• After installation, restore power and run a test cycle to normal fill and cycle operation.
