Normal water level should reach approximately the bottom edge of the door glass during fill. If the water level is noticeably lower, suspect a problem in the water level control system.

Most likely causes: clogged pressure tube, blocked air dome connection, faulty pressure switch, or faulty control board.

  1. Disconnect power.

  2. Remove the washer top panel.

  3. Locate the water level (pressure) switch.

  4. Remove the pressure tube from the switch.

  5. Inspect the tube for clogs, kinks, or damage.
