I have a Whirlpool Thin Twin that won't stop filling no matter what size load setting I have it on. Last week I replaced the timer as the washer wouldn't complete a cycle (no matter the setting). The same day I ordered the new timer, the lid switch broke so I replaced that as well. I currently have a pressure switch & pressure switch hose ordered. Is there any other possibilities as to why the washer won't stop filling at the proper level?

Thanks,
alba

I would put money on it being the pressure switch or the hose.

One other possibility is that the hose is clogged with crud.
Remove it from the pressure switch and blow into it.

I am assuming that you can stop the water flow by turning the timer to off or unplugging the unit.
If the only way to shut it off is to turn the taps off then the water valve is the cause.

I know there is crud in the hose - but how does it get there?:o

It's not the water valve as I can get the water to stop flowing by turning the unit off.

Could be just lint etc. from the clothes.
Sometimes it is grud that grows in the tubing due to the moisture, especially if you never use bleach.

I did see that they have replaced the filter type, Item 13 in Section 10, perhaps this is causing your problem.

See the attachment.

Can you tell me how to gain access to those filters?

Thanks!:)
