DC96-01703B Samsung Water Level Pressure Switch

The Water Level Pressure Switch is a standard OEM replacement component suitable for Samsung washing machines. It is essential for monitoring the water levels in the machine's tub.

This switch operates by sensing changes in water pressure to identify how full the tub is, and it communicates this information to the machine's control module. This process helps the washing machine decide when it has taken in the appropriate amount of water for various washing cycles and adjust its operations as needed.

Common reasons for the malfunction of the pressure switch include the accumulation of minerals or other residues that may reduce its sensitivity. Additionally, damage from uneven loads can impair its function.

Indications of a malfunctioning pressure switch are:

- Water levels that are either too high or too low during the filling stage
- Delays or complete stoppages in the initiation of wash cycles
- Issues with draining or overflow, which stem from the switch's inability to accurately gauge water levels

This particular pressure switch is not only compatible with certain Samsung models but also works with some Kenmore washers.

Replacing this part can resolve issues such as the machine continuously filling with water.
