Whirlpool Washer Switch

The Push Button Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This part activates various functions and cycles on the control panel of the washer. The switch is designed to ensure responsive and reliable operation when selecting wash settings.

Causes of a bad push button switch can include wear and tear from frequent use, exposure to moisture, or physical damage from impacts.

Symptoms of a bad push button switch include:

• Unresponsive buttons on the control panel
• Inability to start or change wash cycles
• Intermittent operation of washer functions
• Error codes related to control panel issues

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

This water level pressure switch senses the tub's water level and relays it to the washer's control. Replacing a failed switch restores proper filling and cycle progression while helping prevent overfilling, underfilling, or long-fill interruptions.

• Monitors air pressure from the tub to determine water level
• Signals the control/timer to stop filling and start the wash or spin
• Helps prevent overfill conditions and incorrect water levels
• Helps resolve symptoms like no fill/long fill, continuous filling, or cycles that won't advance

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before servicing
• Access the control/console area; note wire and hose positions for reassembly
• Transfer the pressure hose and electrical connector to the new switch; ensure the hose is clear, undamaged, and fully seated
• After installation, run a diagnostic or calibration procedure for your model

The Pressure Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This switch monitors the water level inside the washer tub and signals the control board to stop filling and start the wash cycle once the desired water level is reached. 

Causes of a bad pressure switch can include electrical malfunctions, wear and tear from regular use, or blockages in the pressure hose that connects to the switch.

Symptoms of a bad pressure switch include:

• The washing machine overfilling or underfilling with water
• The washer not advancing to the next cycle
• Error codes related to water level sensing
• Inconsistent water levels during different cycles

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

The Water-Level Pressure Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool washers. It is responsible for monitoring the water level inside the washer's tub during different cycles. This switch detects changes in air pressure as the water level rises or falls, communicating these variations to the washer's control board. 

Symptoms of a faulty water-level pressure switch include:

• Incorrect water levels during the wash cycle
• Washer not filling or draining properly
• Error codes related to water level

A bad water-level pressure switch can occur due to various factors, such as clogs or blockages in the air hose, a malfunctioning switch mechanism, or electrical issues. If you notice problems such as the washer not filling or draining properly, water levels that are too high or too low, or error codes related to water level, it may be time to replace the water-level pressure switch.

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
 

This lid switch is the washer's safety interlock. It detects when the lid is closed so the machine can agitate and spin, and cuts power when the lid is opened to stop operation and enhance user safety.

• Monitors lid position and allows agitation/spin only when the lid is closed
• Interrupts motor operation if the lid opens during a cycle
• Common failure symptoms: washer won't start or spin, fills but stalls, stops intermittently, or displays "lid open" alerts
• Restores proper cycle progression and safety shutoff when replaced

• Disconnect power and water supply before servicing
• Access the switch from under the top panel/console per your model's procedure
• Release the old switch, move the harness to the new switch, and secure wiring away from moving parts
• Ensure the lid closes and actuates the switch before reassembly and test run

The Water Level Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool washers. It is responsible for monitoring and controlling the water level during the wash cycle, ensuring the appropriate amount of water is used for each load.

A bad water level switch can occur due to electrical issues, component failure, or physical damage. If you notice problems such as incorrect water levels, overflowing, or insufficient water in your washer, it may indicate a problem with the water level switch.

Symptoms of a bad water level switch include:

• Incorrect water levels, either too high or too low
• Washer overflows or fails to fill with water
• Insufficient water for proper cleaning or rinsing

Replace your faulty water level switch with this genuine OEM part to restore your washer. 

This Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
 

This water level pressure switch senses tub water level and signals the control to stop filling and advance the cycle. Replacing a failed switch restores proper fill shut-off and allows the washer to move to wash, drain, and spin.

• Detects water level via air pressure in the attached hose from the tub air dome
• Signals the timer/control to close inlet valves at the selected fill level
• Enables agitation and spin only when the level is appropriate or the tub is empty
• Typical symptoms of a failed switch include overfilling or underfilling, continuous filling, cycle not advancing, or no spin

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing
• Access the switch in the control console or top panel; note wire locations for reassembly
• Transfer the pressure hose and wire connectors to the new switch one at a time; ensure the hose is clear, not kinked or cracked, and fits snugly
• After installation, run a quick fill test to ensure proper shut-off and cycle progression

This rotary encoder mounts behind the washer's cycle knob and tells the main control which setting you select. When it fails, selections may be erratic or unresponsive. Replacing it restores accurate, dependable cycle selection. What it does

• Detects the position of the cycle selector knob
• Sends selection signals to the main control board
• Enables precise cycle and option changes
• Common symptoms: knob turns but lights don't follow, random/incorrect selection, can't select a cycle, won't start

• One rotary encoder

• Disconnect power to the washer before servicing
• Access the control console and remove the knob/dial to reach the encoder
• Note orientation, unplug the harness, release tabs/screws, and swap in the new encoder
• Handle electronics carefully and avoid static discharge; verify knob-to-light tracking before reassembly

This dryer temperature selector switch lets you choose between four heat settings for proper fabric care. Replacing a worn switch restores accurate temperature selection so loads dry evenly without overdrying delicate items.

• Controls the dryer's heat level across four selectable settings
• Faulty switch can cause incorrect temperatures or only one setting to work
• May lead to poor drying performance or fabric damage if not functioning
• Restores reliable temperature selection and consistent drying results

• Unplug dryer before servicing; shut off gas if applicable
• Pull control knob straight off to access the switch
• Transfer wires one at a time to the new switch to maintain correct positions
• Ensure switch shaft and flat align with the knob during reassembly

This washer water level pressure switch senses air pressure from the tub and signals the control to stop the fill at the correct point, helping prevent overfilling and ensuring each cycle uses the right amount of water. What it does:

• Monitors tub water level via the air dome hose and internal diaphragm
• Sends signals to the control to open/close the inlet valves during fill
