Hello,
What are the changes to purchase a new pressure switch but defective?
I have the same issues with this washer, Sud followed by F35, although I replaced the pressure switch with one purchased from a parts store. The switch was sealed in the original bag, I do not think it was a return/open box.
Steps performed so far:
- removed the drain assembly between tub and water pump. Cleaned it and washed it.
- removed the hose between pressure switch and tub. Perfect condition.
- removed from the bottom of the tub the elongated piece of white plastic where the hose from the pressure sensor gets connected to. It is clean and not clogged. Washed it.
- replaced the pressure switch. The new one and old one look identical. None of them click when I blow it them. Should they all make a click when blown in to them? If they don't, does that mean they are defective?
Not sure what else to do or check. I am about to get another machine, but I would hate to throw this one away; it's about 4 yo and other than not working :-( it's in perfect condition...

Adrian, Check and make sure there are no loose wires or connections at the CCU or water level switch. Under normal situations, everything you've done is correct, and should have solved the issue. However, if your washer is equipped with the "steam" option, the issue could be in the steamer control board and a miscommunication error between the CCU and Steamer assembly. Part number: AP4358763

Thanks for the feedback, Joe. I did look at wiring and connections and they all look fine.
As for the steamer assy I had run the test (as shown in the manual), and it returned a YES code on the display.
I will have to check the pressure switch with a voltmeter, as per your post above. I just won't be able to judge the results as my switch (neither new or old) do not click when I blow in to them. Should they all click?
(((I do not know much about washers, but having a switch act upon the change in air pressure in a tube, when the water level in the tube raises few inches, does not seem a reliable solution, as the air in the tube will barely compress for the little change in the water column.)))

Adrian, The water level switch and air tube has been used for many many years(at least 40 years that I know of) It's a lot better alternative than the previous timed filled systems. It's common to all brands and models of washers. It is very dependable and a simple system, once you see it operate. The only drawback is the condition of the water and detergent usage. Sediment and debris can accumulate in the pump and / or air tube restricting the air flow and allows the washer to overfill or cause other error codes if the air can't escape from the tube. Your particular "analog" water level switch, will not make a "noise" when it reaches the full water level. You will need to determine which "pins" to place your meter probes on at the switch, then blow in the connector, slowly and lightly, until you see the meter change resistance from "open" to "closed". You can damage the switch by blowing too hard into it. Hopefully that's not the case.
