This part is located behind the control panel. It helps determine the level of water in the washer. As the water fills the hose, while tub is filling, it will push the air against a diaphragm inside the switch. More water that enters the tub, more pressure is applied against the switch.

Washer was not filling with water to proper level (was filling some, not enough)
Ordered part PS3408149 from partselect.com. Lifted Washer control panel with putty knife. Removed hinges (regular screwdriver, used as a crowbar rather than screwdriver) holding control panel to washer body. Moved washer body panel out of the way, and reviewed level sensor/level selector switch. Take handle off front of selector switch. Twist selector switch off from inside (90 degree turn till square inset lines up withsquare hole, then it will come out). Insert new selector switch. Remove old tubing. Fish new tubing through where old tubing was. Cut off extra tubing, then push tubing onto selector switch and tub basin (where old tubing was). Put washer back together. Done. Worked perfectly.

Water level selector inoperable, washer stuck in "Med" load.
Using the guidance listed on your website for part #PS3408149, Water Level Pressure Switch, I removed two screws on each side of the rear Control Panel, removed the dial from the front, lifted the panel on the right side from rear, removed the hose and the electrical plug, twisted off the broken part and installed the new one in absolute reverse! Reassembled panel, plugged in unit to electric and performed function check to great satisfaction! (by doing one med load and one super load over next 2 hours)

The water level pressure switch was damaged, read the instructions on how to change it and without hesitation it was changed and working like a champ. Love the fact of how easy the site is to order and receive your products.

Knob broke off load size indicator. It was getting almost impossible to turn . Washer wasn’t filling correctly.
Removed 2 screws on backside of control panel. I gave old part a quarter turn and it came right off . Took existing hose and attached to new part . Replaced screws and ran through a wash cycle, worked perfectly, like it originally did . Simple repair. Only issue was the shipping, but not On PartSelect part. Could have been an overnight shipping but got caught in the FedEx vortex and ended taking a trip around the country for 5 days . I will order again from PartSelect , fair prices and great selection.

Is this the water level fill switch? The knob has been difficult to turn to select size of load. Now, it's stuck on small load. If i force the knob i believe i'll break it off. Thanks.
For model number 110.27612600
Hello Rick, thank you for your question. Yes, this is the water level pressure switch that sits behind the control panel, and controls the water level in the tub. If the switch will not turn with little force, you should replace the switch before the knob breaks as well. Good luck with your repair.

I ordered the water level pressure switch for my washing machine.Does it come with the hose and clamp and do I actually need a new hose and clamp?
For model number 11027831600

Hi Ernest,
Thank you for your inquiry. If you are using pliers to select the water level then you need to replace the switch. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Water does not shut off when filling at any size load. Water does not stop filling when unplugging the washer. While the washer is filling and i shut the water supply off and then turn it back on the water doesn't resume filling as it already has plenty of water in it. Guessing it is water inlet valve? Or, what other causes could it be?
For model number ntw4500vq1
Hello Jeff, Thank you for the question. This would normally be an indication the Valve PartSelect Number: PS11748963 will need to be replaced. Hope this helps!
My water level switch works except that the settings are out of sinc. The switch was stuck at one time and when I forced it, it must have bent the knob shaft. Now I have to hold the knob manually in between the level settings until the water fills. Example, if I put the setting on super water level, it only fills to the level that is lower. Can I fix the switch myself?
For model number WTW5500SQ0
Hi Jack,
Thank you for your question. If the shaft on the water level switch is bent, you will need to replace the switch. You should be able to do the repair yourself. There are installation instructions listed with the part on our website that you may reference. We hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Why do I have play with the water switch to get water to come in
For model number Ntw4500VQ1
Hello Alvin, Thank you for the question. It sounds like the switch could be defective and need to be replaced or the wiring may be loose. If the wiring is good a new switch might be needed. Thank you for your inquiry, good luck with this repair!
