Installation Instructions
Joshua from Dallas, TX
Dryer would not start
The end repair was very simple and took minimal effort. The time and difficulty was all in the testing. I disassembled the dryer and removed the drum and then hard wired each thermo-fuse to determine where the fault was. After test all of those I was stumped. When I opened the door the light would not come on so I assumed it was a power fault closer to the source. However after all of my testing I couldn't find anything wrong. I then removed the light bulb and realized it was burned out which led me to the door switch being the fault. I removed the switch and soldered the three wire together and the dryer started right up! All I had to do was order a new $15 part, unsolder the wires and plug them in. Would have been so much simpler if that light bulb hadn't of been burned out causing me to over think my diagnosis. This was my first major appliance repair and I did it with only the help of the parts diagram provided on the website. Read more...

Lid Switch with Wire Harness
★★★★★
★★★★★
(18)
PartSelect Number PS1482372
Manufacturer Part Number WH12X10334
This lid switch with wire harnesses is used in washing machines. The pin on the lid switch pushes onto the lever of the switch to communicate to the machine that the washer lid is closed. If your washing machine is not running when the lid is closed, not spinning, draining, or agitating, replacing the lid switch could solve the problem. The tools needed for this repair are: putty knife, 1/4 inch nut driver, wire strippers and crimpers. Refer to the manual for further installation instructions. Remember to unplug your washer from the power source as a safety precaution.

washing machine would not go through all cycles or agitate
After removing frt panel which prys off I checked for anything obvious like a loose belt. Then I jiggled the magnet switch located on the inside of the loading cover. I saw the machine start agitating the it stopped again when I stopped touching it. I ordered the new part and spliced it in with the wire crip tool. Now the machine is A ok. Read more...

The point of the lid switch is for the tub to stop spinning when the washer lid is opened. It is a safety precaution just in case someone decides to stick their hand inside the washer while the tub is spinning.

Pressure Switch
★★★★★

(4)
PartSelect Number PS2354068
Manufacturer Part Number WH12X10412
This part is the replacement pressure switch, also known as the water-level pressure switch, for your washer. It is round and red on one side, and white with gold terminals on the other. The pressure switch senses and controls the water level in the washer. Once the washer has filled up to the appropriate level, it will allow the washer to move forward in the wash cycle. If it is defective, your washer will either not fill with water, or will not stop filling with water. Before you do this repair, be sure to disconnect your water from the power source, as well as the water source. This part is sold individually and is an OEM part from the manufacturer.

PartSelect Number PS269790

Installation Instructions
Matthew from Alexandria, VA
washer was overfilling
Removed the water level pressure switch and the water inlet valve to test parts for proper operation with an ohm meter. Electrically, the switches seemed to work fine so I thought it was probably a mechanical water valve problem. I ordered and replaced both parts anyway just to be sure and potentially save time.

Installation Instructions
Arnold from OSWEGO, IL
The plastic tab that the dial knob slides on broke off the switch.
The pressure switch came out easily however I had to get the control panel to lay flat to slide the new switch in place. I finally determined that you have to slide the panel to the left to get it out of the slots and thus lay it flat on the washer lid. Wish the washer instructions told you that. Part fit perfectly and is easier to change the water level than the original part. I think the original part was rubbing and that finally broke the tab. Read more...

Installation Instructions
Stephanie from Charlotte, NC
Sometimes water would keep running into machine and it would overflow.
I took off the cover behind the selector knobs and looked for the part that looked like the part I ordered. I unplugged a wire, took off the little hose, then twisted the part free. Twisting it free and twisting the new one back on was the hardest part, I even bled all over the machine from a cut I got while twisting! Then you plug the wire back in, there's only one way it will go, and put the little hose back on. I think it took less than 10 minutes. Read more...
