Washing Machine Pressure and Water Level Switch

Washing Machine Pressure and Water Level Switch

WARNING!

To avoid personal injury or death, disconnect your appliance from its power source before you start any troubleshooting or repair work. Use caution when working inside any appliance.

This can be caused by a water level pressure switch failing. You can reset the switch and try it again. If that doesn't work, you can put the washer in a spin cycle for a few minutes and then try to fill it again.
