Model Number: idk Brand: -other- Age: Less than 1 year
Ok heres there deal. My wash works just fine when i have it set to small/med load but when its set to large and extra large load it wont stop spewing water. I saw some people said it could be due to the pressure valve. If so are there different valves for the size of the loads.

Your model number is not correct.
Model Number Locator The water level switch (in the control console) controls the fill. This switch is actually a pressure switch. It has a tube that runs down to the bottom of the tub, as water fills the tub, air is trapped in the tube. As the water rises, the air pressure in the tube increases until it reaches the switch's set point then the switch activates turning off the water and starting the agitate. Possible problems. 1. Gunk blocking water from entering the tube. Remove the tube at the switch and blow into it to clear the plug. 2. Cracks or holes in the tube allowing the air to escape. Inspect the tube. Also check that it is tight on the switch, if not, cut off half an inch and re-seat it. 3. The switch is toast. Get a piece of tubing with the same internal diameter and attach this to the switch. Start a fill, then blow into the tube. You should be able to stop the water flow without blowing very hard. If you cannot stop it the switch is toast. It is possible that either the switch is toast or the tubing is partially clogged.

idk= i dont know. so seeing how the washer works just fine with small and med loads theres enough room in the tube to stop it from spewing water. But when its set to large and extra large the tube is block and not letting the air get past the med load and spews nonstop. Its one switch for all load sizes or a different switch for each load? If theres only one switch then its not toast because if it were it would not stop spewing water for all load sizes

Cannot say without a model number but usually it is one switch. If theres only one switch then its not toast because if it were it would not stop spewing water for all load sizes Not necessarily the switch may be good but the pressure bellows in the switch or the pressure tube may be no good. Note : I am off to the cabin for a few days, hopefully someone else will jump in if you have more questions.
