Description
This water level pressure switch senses tub water height and tells the washer control when to stop filling for correct load levels. Replaces a failed or intermittent pressure sensor to restore proper fill control and cycle operation. What it does
- Detects water level changes via air pressure from the drain/tub to signal the control board.
- Stops filling when the correct water level is reached to prevent overfill.
- Resolves symptoms like overfilling, underfilling, or washer that won't advance cycles when caused by a faulty switch.
- Works with the washer's control system—does not include hoses or wiring harness.
What's included
- One water level pressure switch (one complete switch assembly).
Install notes
- Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before replacing the switch.
- Verify location and routing of the pressure hose; replace any cracked or collapsed hose that can cause false readings.
- Handle electrical connectors and the pressure port carefully—avoid pulling wires or forcing tabs.
- Test operation after installation by running a fill/drain cycle and observing fill level.
