WH12X10479 General Electric Water Level Pressure Switch

The GE Water Level Pressure Switch is a component designed for managing the amount of water in a washing machine. Compatible with GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears models, this OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part is crucial for the proper operation of the appliance. It is typically situated in the control panel or housing of the washing machine and is connected to a hose that monitors the pressure or water level in the tub.

The function of the pressure switch is to detect changes in air pressure within the hose as the water level in the washing machine's drum increases or decreases. Based on these changes, the switch communicates with the washing machine’s control system to either start filling with water or begin draining it. This ensures that the washing machine uses the correct amount of water for washing loads efficiently.

This part addresses several issues including:
- The washing machine overfilling or underfilling with water.
- The absence of water filling in the washing machine.
- The washing machine failing to complete wash or rinse cycles.
- Continuous water filling or draining issues.

Using this GE pressure switch helps maintain optimal functionality and efficiency of the washing machine, contributing to better management of water use during washing cycles.
