Pressure switch fails to signal the control board to shut off the water inlet valve, causing the tub to overflow during fill cycle.
Faulty switch falsely reports high water level to the control board, stopping water intake too early or preventing fill altogether.
Control board receives no valid water-level signal from the switch, triggering a water-supply error code and halting the cycle.
Washer is stuck in the fill stage because the pressure switch cannot confirm the tub has reached the required water level to proceed.
Switch sends intermittent or inaccurate pressure readings, resulting in too much or too little water in the drum regardless of load size setting.
💡 Pro Tip: Is Your Water Level Pressure Switch Failing?
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Washer keeps filling and overflows — pressure switch not shutting off the water inlet valve
⚠️ Washer won't fill or stops filling too early — switch falsely reading high water level
⚠️ Error codes 4E / nF displayed — control board not receiving a valid level signal
⚠️ Wash cycle fails to advance — switch unable to confirm tub has reached target level
🔬 Before replacing, always inspect the air hose running from the tub to the switch — a clog, kink, or crack in this hose mimics a faulty switch. With power ON (cycle not started), a working DC96-01703B should read approximately 26.4 kHz. If the hose is clear and the reading is off, replace the switch.
