Whirlpool, a prominent manufacturer, produces washing machines under various brands such as Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, they supply components to Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. This specific pressure switch, accompanied by a squeeze clamp and a replacement transparent tube, connects the switch to the washer's tub and is situated behind the control panel. Its primary function is to monitor the water level within the machine. As water accumulates in the tub, the air within the hose compresses the diaphragm inside the switch, increasing pressure with the rising water level. Prior to installation, it is essential to disconnect the washer and halt the water supply. Wearing work gloves is recommended to ensure hand protection.
