Whirlpool WP3362987 Washer Water Level Switch

The Whirlpool WP3362987 is a vital component in your washing machine, specifically the water level pressure switch. During a wash cycle, this switch keeps an eye on the washer's water level. It works by having a diaphragm and an air chamber. The air chamber is compressed by the increasing water pressure in the tub as water fills it, pushing against the diaphragm. When the target level is reached, this sends an electrical signal to the washer control board instructing it to cease adding water. A malfunctioning water level switch may cause the washer drum to overflow or underfill, which may reduce cleaning efficiency, waste water, and lengthen wash cycles. Thus, for a washing experience to be both successful and efficient, a water level switch must be in working order.
