First, thanks for all the help I have read on here about fixing other things. A great resource.
Here’s the problem:
I’m dealing with a GE washer, model # WCXR1070TAWW that seems to work fine when you select Extra Small load size.
It fills, shuts water off, agitates for whatever dirt level you’ve selected, stops agitation, then drains, fill again and then does the final spin and rinse till it completes.
If the load size is Medium or Extra large it acts weird
It will fill, shuts water off, agitates as long as needed then when it is done agitating, it begins to fill again and will not stop and overflows. What a mess!
Does this on the Permanent press cycles also.
What I have done so far:
I removed the backsplash to get to water level pressure switch and disconnected it and blew through to make sure it was reset and clear.
I also removed the tub drain hose from the water pump to make sure nothing was in there just in case, also removed discharge hose to also make sure nothing in discharge.
I’ve checked and made sure the discharge hose is above the top of the tub to prevent accidental run off and even though it is a GE hose that is corrugated, I made sure it was not in the drain pipe too far to avoid the siphon problem.
I’ve inspected the plastic hose from the rub to the switch checking for any damage, nothing.
Disconnecting both ends of the fill line, I put my thumb over one end and blew into the other checking for any leaks. None found.
I connected the line back to the level switch, set to Extra small, and blew gently into the line, it clicked. Repeated for the Medium and the Extra Large (inly 3 choices on this machine) and all 3 gave me the click and for all 3 load sizes I could see the back move out and make the connection.
The only thing I did question was I also heard another click inside the timer but it was not consistent and I so I do know know what that meant or means.
I’m tempted to just replace the water level switch since things work for Extra small and not the other 2 load sizes but before I order it I’d appreciate any additional insight or suggestions as to why it wants to resume filling after the initial agitation.
Thanks in advance!
