Test #5: Water Level - Whirlpool WETLV27HW0 Service Manual

WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before servicing.
Replace all parts and panels before operating.
Failure to do so can result in death or
electrical shock.

TEST #5: Water Level

This test checks the water level sensing components. The
washer has an on-board pressure transducer. 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/dryer or disconnect power.
4. Remove console to access controls.
5. Check hose connections between the pressure transducer
(Figure 1), the pressure dome attached to the tub (Figure
2), and the barbed connector between hoses is correctly
assembled. NOTE: the barbed connector is located in the
dryer compartment to the right of the motor (see Figure 3).

6. Check to ensure hose is routed correctly in the dryer and
the lower washer cabinet and not pinched or crimped 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. Replace the main control and calibrate washer. Perform
Automatic Test to verify repair.
