Disconnect it at both ends, blow through it to confirm it’s clear, and inspect for cracks or loose connections at the tub fitting and switch port. If the hose is good and the washer still overfills or won’t advance, test the switch with a multimeter for continuity at each fill level position. A failed switch will confirm W10163980 is needed — and you’ll have ruled out the free fix before spending on parts.\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0897\/7783\/2225\/files\/31dOsxX28ML._AC.jpg?v=1725979691\" style=\"width:600px;max-width:100%;display:block;margin-top:24px;border-radius:10px;\" alt=\"W10163980 Whirlpool Washer Water Level Pressure Switch\"\u003e","brand":"XPart Supply Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"OEM","offer_id":52784681025825,"sku":"W10163980","price":118.73,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used","offer_id":52784681058593,"sku":"W10163980","price":39.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0897\/7783\/2225\/files\/Whirlpool_Washer_Water_Level_Pressure_Switch_W10163980.png?v=1780197513","url":"https:\/\/xpartsupply.com\/products\/w10163980-whirlpool-washer-water-level-pressure-switch","provider":"XPart Supply Ltd.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
