Common Symptoms
- Incorrect water level during a cycle
- Washer overfills
- Washer does not fill correctly
- Cycle may stop or fail to advance
- Water-level-related long-fill or long-drain symptoms
Check Before Replacing
- Disconnect power before inspection.
- Inspect the pressure tube for visible kinks, blockage, disconnection, or leaks; a restricted or leaking tube can mimic a failed switch.
- Check that the pressure-switch electrical connector and related harness connections are fully seated and show no visible damage.
- During a small or empty test cycle, observe whether the inlet valves stop filling when the expected water level is reached; do not leave the washer unattended.
- Use the washer’s model-specific service diagnostic procedure if further electrical or continuity testing is required.
Pro Tip
Before replacing the switch, check that the pressure tube is clear and not leaking, because hose problems can produce the same water-level symptoms.
