Test the water level switch assembly:
- Unplug the washer and access the control console (see above).
- Mark and remove wires from the water-level switch.
- Remove the air hose from the switch and gently blow into the switch, listening for a click as the switch moves to the full position.
- While blowing into the switch, test all terminals with a multimeter set to RX1 (resistance times 1). For most switches, two pairs should indicate continuity and one pair should indicate resistance.
- Stop blowing into the switch and retest the terminals. The pair that previously showed resistance should show continuity and the ones that showed continuity should show resistance.
- If the test results are different from the description in step 5, replace the water level switch.
If inlet screens are clogged with hardened mineral deposits, soak them overnight in a bowl of white vinegar.
Service the water inlet valve:
- Unplug the washer and shut off the water supply to the washer.
- Loosen the water hose couplings and remove the hoses.
- Inspect the filter screen inside each valve port. If it is clogged, replace the valve.
- As needed, remove the wires from the solenoid terminals and mark them for easier reassembly. Then set a multimeter to RX1 (resistance times 1) and touch a probe to each pair of terminals in turn. The meter should indicate between 100 and 1,000 ohms of resistance on each pair. Replace the switch if the test results differ.
If you need to adjust the machine's feet, it's better to make them end up shorter rather than longer. The closer the machine is to the floor, the less likely it is to vibrate.
