Common Symptoms
- Washer overfills or underfills
- Water continues filling beyond the expected level
- Washer displays a long-fill or long-drain condition
- Cycle does not advance after filling
- Washer may not enter or complete agitation or spin
Check Before Replacing
- Disconnect power before servicing and turn off the water supply.
- Observe whether the inlet valves stop automatically after the washer senses the selected water level; this check does not by itself prove the pressure switch is defective.
- Inspect the pressure hose connection at the switch and tub air dome for looseness, pinching, kinks, leaks, water, suds, or debris.
- With power disconnected, inspect the switch harness and connector for secure seating or visible damage.
- If the appliance-specific service documentation calls for electrical testing, test the pressure switch and related wiring only with power disconnected and using the specified terminal chart; do not bypass the switch.
Pro Tip
A water-level problem can originate in the pressure hose, air dome, wiring, inlet valves, or control system, so inspect the hose and connections before condemning the pressure switch.
