Water level swich

[suds14]

Hi everyone,

I need some help in finding a part number. The water level switch on my Westinghouse washer is broken, I have to turn it with a pair of pliers. I tried to e-mail a few places with the washer's model number but have gotten no where. I do not want to take the machine apart twice (if I do not have too). Westinghouse washer model#LA400EXW3

Thanks

David

Per model lookups at SearsPartsDirect.com and AppliancePartsPros.com --
- Water level control = part number Q618921 or 5300633731 (NLA)
- Knob = part number Q617652 or 5308015435 ($20 to $25, various sources)

Sounds like the knob is broken, not the control ... yes?

Here's a source lists it $14.29 but says to call to confirm stock.
