    I pretty much skate through life using RUclips University "Fake it till you make it 101" and have watched thousands of DIYs and tutorials to solve problems at home and at work.
    I want to thank you and compliment you for the stellar job you did on this video. It was the perfect pace, contained great information that solved my issue using a logical troubleshooting flow that made sense and didn't waste my time .
    I love that you were able to refrain from a whole bunch of show boating and dragging things out, yet still show your genuine personality and natural charisma.

    Excellent information! My issue turned out to be the hose so. I snipped off half an inch and it solved the problem. Thanks

    All good information...However missing something here. First let me say I appreciate all the guys who post these videos as they have saved me a lot of money by doing so. With that said sometimes you need to go that extra step, like in this video. Tested the air flow from the top of the tube to where the tube connected to the tub. Yes you could hear the air passing. Now the step that needs to be added is when you blow through the tube and no matter how hard you do no air is heard indicating the air dome (what kenmore calls it) is plugged in some way. If everything else checked and can not pass air to the bottom then there is a blockage. Took about 30 min but ran across a guy who posted a video about this with his GE washer. He found a hack using a can of compressed air to unclog the air dome. I tried this and in a few seconds I heard a pop (not sure what that was but) I hooked the hose back up blew through it and I could then hear air flowing. Put it back together started it and the water levels stopped at the right point. Thanks again for the tips but please try and go that extra step saying Now if you can not get any air then it is plugged and try this, or that. Hope this may help someone else along one day.

    My pressure hose keeps coming off. Should I use an adhesive to secure the hose to the switch?

    • @DuctTapeMechanic
      @DuctTapeMechanic  Год назад +1

      Clip a 1/2 inch off the end that goes into the pressure switch. This will allow for a nice and tight connection

      @DuctTapeMechanic did that, didn't work. I used a hose clamp and it worked for 5 loads and came off today.

      @markbowen1364 I have seen small zip ties used as well. Obviously don't do laundry when you are not at home otherwise you could flood your house.

    Which terminals are you putting the meter on, where the red and tan wires connect?

    • @rogerbaker5090
      @rogerbaker5090 10 месяцев назад

      Nevermind, if figured it out via the schematic on my Kenmore. Continuity between Violet and Tan indicates full and continuity between Violet and Pink (red) is empty.

    If I leave the washer plugged in, start the cycle, allow water to enter the washer, remove the bottom end of the pressure hose and blow into it, the presure switch does click, stop filling and go to agitating the water. Once I stop blowing, it goes right back to filling with water. Does this mean that my pressure switch is working?

    • @DuctTapeMechanic
      @DuctTapeMechanic  6 месяцев назад

      Yes, that means the pressure switch is working fine. Are u having issues with the washer over filling? If so, most likely, your valves need to be replaced

    • @moonmagnolia7

      @@DuctTapeMechanicit could also mean that the water pressure in the home is low. One guy said his wife started the washer while he was in the shower, which cause low water pressure, and the washer overflowed.

      My situation is EXACTLY like this.
      My valves function correctly in all other conditions, are the valves still failing? Or is this a different issue ? ​@@DuctTapeMechanic

  • @Thecak3isalie
    @Thecak3isalie Месяц назад

    Tried ALL the steps ! (Still not working)
    Even went the extra mile and applied 2 hose clamps to both ends of the air hose.
    Even replaced the water level switch/sensor
    Checked all connections for corrosion too
    The back valve things work perfectly fine.
    It still refuses to stop the flow of water !
    I can only override this by rotating the operation dial over to the next "click"
    Any suggestions??

    You saved me a bunch of money for repairman. I was able to replace the switch myself! Only suggestion is showing how to pop the top off because I had trouble.

    Just wondering what was the reason for the overfilling of this machine? I'm guessing it was the loose fitting hose on the pressure switch or connection off the washtub.
