I have a Kenmore 110.20802990.

The problem is during fill cycles it stops filling. When I wiggle the water level select switch the fill resumes and the cycle completes, until the next fill cycle where it stops filling again.. again a wiggle will get the cycle to resume and the wash completes.

Any suggestions?

Hi.

Check the air pressure hose for cuts and blockage, blow into the hose.
If that doesn't help - replace the water level switch Part number: 22002994

Post the results.

Check the connector on the pressure switch behind the control panel. Unplug it and make sure it looks clean and is tight when plugged in. If it looks good, replace the switch.

I get a totally different part number when looked up. And way cheaper here.

Looks like one of those is for the top of the washer and the other is for the bottom that goes on the tub.

When I blow into the hose the water stops flowing, so I am thinking the one that goes on top works.. but the thing connected to the tub is what needs to be replaced. Any tips on removing it? I don't see any easy to way to disconnect it.

The part on the tub is the air dome. It is permanently attached. When the water level rises, it creates air pressure into the tube which activates the switch behind the panel. If it's activating too soon cutting the water off early, then the switch is bad. If there was blockage in the dome or tube the tub would overfill as the switch would not activate at the proper time.

Hi.

Thanks Eric for catching my mistake. The correct part number is W10335056.
