Water level control

It’s either called a water level control or load size selector there’s only three parts in the control panel this machine a timer the water temperature switch, and the water level control so it shouldn’t be too hard to figure out which part you might need.

It’s pretty easy to test the water level switch or even bypass it to see if that’s the problem. It has just three wires on it. It’s a single pole double throw switch when there’s no air pressure it completes the circuit to the inlet valve when air pressure applied to the tube from water building up in the tub it opens the circuit to the inlet valve and completes the circuit to the timer Motor and the main motor of the machine, the timer has already got the contacts in position just waiting for the power to come through the water level switch to start agitating. There should be a wiring diagram inside the control panel that shows you how to test this with an ohm meter .
