Water Level Switch
If the switch is functioning erratically,
remove the air tube from the switch end
and blowout the air tube. The washer
should be emptied of any water. This
will ensure that the air tube is clear for
proper switch operation. If this proce-
dure is not followed, any water trapped
in either the air dome or upper air tube
can cause the
switch to falsely actuate
and start the washer agitating before
the proper water level is reached. If
water is found in either of these areas,
check the hose for an air leak.
Water normally in the air dome will be
drained when the washer is emptied.
However, if any water is drawn into the
air tube above the air dome, this water
cannot be removed from the air tube by
merely siphoning the washer.
Therefore, when a new switch is
installed, blowout the air tube from the
switch end.
All hose connections should be checked
to make sure that they are airtight since
air or water leaks will cause improper
operation of the switch.
No attempts should be made to adjust
the water level control. The switch has
been factory calibrated for a proper
balance of conditions which MUST be
maintained to assure proper operation
of the water level control. Field adjust-
ment is NEVER recommended.
To Remove Water Level Switch:
1. Disconnect washer from power
supply.
2. Remove control panel and tilt away
from console.
3. Loosen clamp on air tube and
remove tube.
4. Remove the two screws securing the
switch to the back up plate.
5. Remove the wires from the switch.
