TEST #6: Water Level
This test checks the water level sensing components.
NOTE
: Usually, if the pressure transducer malfunctions, the
washer will generate a long fill, or long drain error.
1. Check the functionality of the pressure transducer by
running a small load cycle. The valves should turn off
automatically after sensing the correct water level in
the tub. The following steps assume that this step was
unsuccessful.
2. Drain the tub until all water has been removed.
3. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
4. Remove console to access main control.
5. Check hose connection between the pressure transducer
on the main control (Figure 1) and the pressure dome
attached to the tub (Figure 2).

6. Check to ensure hose is routed correctly in the lower
cabinet and not pinched or crimped inside the console or
by the back panel.
7. Verify there is no water, suds, or debris in the hose or
dome. Disconnect hose from main control and blow into
hose to clear water, suds, or debris.
8. Check hose for leaks. Replace if needed.
9. If the preceding steps did not correct the problem, replace
main control and perform Service Diagnostics. Run fill
cycle to test and verify repair.
