I certainly hope someone can steer me in the right direction; we're running out of clean clothes!

I have a Kenmore washer that won't stop filling. I've tested the fill switch; it passed the continuity test and a new one didn't stop the overfilling.
I then tested the mixing/water valve. The resistance test showed infinity on the prongs, so I figured the solenoids were bad. A new switch also didn't stop the filling.
I then disconnected the pressure switch hose at the switch and blew into it and could hear bubbles in the tub; upon visual inspection, it doesn't appear to be kinked.
Next, I began the fill cycle and used a different hose to blow into the fill switch to see if that had any affect. It did; blowing into to the switch stopped the filling and began the agitating cycle.
I'm now at a loss of what to do next. Any suggestions? :confused:

If I'm understanding correctly you have water in your pressure tube? If so blow the water out.

Was thanked: 4 time(s) in 4 post(s)
Also I would recommend to check the pressure hose for a small crack. After this hose has been removed from the pressure switch you have to make sure there is no water in the inner tub before connecting the hose back to the switch.

P.S. The model number you posted does not come up.
