Description

This digital water level switch senses tub water height and tells the washer control when to stop filling, helping the machine use the correct water amount each cycle. It restores proper fill control and water-level signals to the control board. What it does:

• Detects and reports water level to the washer control so cycles advance correctly
• Stops water fill when the proper level is reached to prevent overfilling
• A failed switch can cause underfilling, overfilling, filling errors, or stalled cycles
• Works with the washer's pressure/air system to translate tub water height into an electrical signal

What's included:

• One water level switch (digital)

Install notes:

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before starting service
• Access typically requires removing the control console or top panel; keep track of fasteners
• Handle the small pressure/air hose and electrical connector gently to avoid damage
• Verify the part number for routing and connector orientation
