My washer fills, but it will not run. My continuity test of the water level switch was good for tab combinations 1-2 and 1-3, but combination 2-3 has no continuity for either case, blown into or not blown into.
Is this switch broken? Please confirm.

Is this switch broken? Please confirm. Remove power from unit. Disconnect the yellow and the grey wire from the water level switch and jump them together. Make sure they aren't touching anything. That is a direct bypass of the switch for the motor run circuit to make it agitate. If it starts agitating then the switch is bad as long as it's filling properly Part number: AP4024708

When I connect the gray (white) and yellow together, the water runs. What combination of wires jumped together make the signal that the tub is full of water and start to agitate? Thank you.

What combination of wires jumped together make the signal that the tub is full of water and start to agitate? Thank you. Double check which wires did you connect. According to the wiring diagram for this model the Gray wire (common) should be connected to the terminal 7 and the Yellow wire should be connected to the terminal 16 on the water level switch. Continuity between these terminals (after the washer filled to the desired level) should switch power from the water valve through the timer to the motor. As long as the washer is empty you should read continuity between the terminals 7 & 15, then it should be continuity between the terminals 7 & 16. Gene.
