For those unaware, apparently Bill (Robert William Newberry) died in 2016. I just found his videos myself and was sad to hear it. Just wanted to say something so that you will understand why he isn't replying to your questions. He left a nice legacy for us. Fair Winds and Following Seas, Marine! Semper Fidelis Brother!

Best Video ever. I am a 47 year old woman. I watched the video ....order the part... And when the water sound came on. I had some choice words of joy that even I could do it.

Hi Bill, I should buy you a beer, or tickets to the game! My relatively new, but out of warranty, LG front loader suddenly started over-filling, then failing with a water Inlet Error. After watching your video, I removed the top cover and the first thing I spotted was the tube had slipped off the pressure switch. You have saved me a small fortune in repair bills. You're a star, keep up the good work. I'm going to tell all my friends about your channel.

Thank you for that last pointer! I was able to fix mine without having to order any new parts. Your video was a lifesaver!

This is the only video that clearly explained everything, and offered the last bit of advice at the end which was my problem. I blew it with compressed air from the switch, and it worked again. Thanks for the thorough video

Fixed my overflowing washer by blowing out the pressure tube. 10 minutes work. Done! Thanks for your clear and informative video.

Thanks Bill. I went out and bought a meter and found that the switch was good so I followed your advice and gave the tube a blow. It seemed hard at first but got easier after 10 seconds. I plugged things in and put it back together and it was back to work. It wasn't filling water and the agitator would turn on. Thank you so much!!!

So my washer kept filling up and would over flow thanks to your 2 videos its fixed!!!!! READERS it could also be your hose is pinched. my son and i done what you said in other video about unplugging and seeing if water still ran and it did not so my son and i tried what this video said when we opened it up we took the hose off. we could not blow through it found out it was pinched. ty so much. my 12 year old figured it out. lol so proud A repair man was going to charge just to look at it the said the part i might need and labor would be around 150 single mom means thats a lot of money 💰 lol Again ty so much for these videos.

It's the best video in KZfaq for checking ,testing & understanding the pressure switch..

Thanks. I checked my pressure valve and found the line was completely blocked where it’s attached to the drum. Works like new. Thanks you saved me $500 at least.

I’ve watched about 3 of your videos today because my washer was overfilling and I didn’t want to bother my landlord on a weekend. You made everything so easy to learn, I just pulled off the front panel and cleaned some gunk out of the water pressure tube and so far so good! I feel like such a bada** for being able to fix it myself, thank you so so much for your videos!

Great video! Hose plugged on my 45 yr old Maytag. Blew it out and bam! - running like new. I'm not sure which I like better - my Maytag or my 18 yr old Corolla with 300K miles and ZERO issues.

Dude! Totally helped me find and solve the problem with a Maytag washing machine that had been stored in a garage for two years. Turned out mice had built a nest in the top compartment where the controls/wiring are and had chewed a hole in that pressure tube. I was able to patch it and it’s working as well as I remember. Tested the action on the pressure switch with a multimeter just to make sure it was working while I was in there and your instructions were spot on. Thank you so much for this clear and helpful video!

Perfect. I solved my problem (even though it wasn't highlighted here). A heavy load knocked my pressure switch off the bottom. Following the guidance, I knew I didn't have a switch/electrical issue, and when I blew into the hose from the top it wasn't blocked, but then I checked the hose on the other end and ... fixed!

Last week I watched one of your videos and replaced a part of the washing machine. After two cycles it stopped working. It overfilled and did not start washing. I saw this video today and decided to check the pressure switch but the moment that I so the hose, it had unplugged. Thanks so much for your videos.

I don't normally make online comments but it would be shameful of me not to thank you. I have spent countless hours downloading manuals and watching videos and replacing parts and was ready to give up and buy a new washing machine and then I watched your video. I had it narrowed down to an obstruction in the pressure chamber but saw that it was fused to the tub and had no idea how to get to it to clear it. Blew through the hose a few times as you suggested in your video and I could hear it clearing and there was a very foul smelling odor. Running a load of wash right now and it made it to the rinse cycle :) Can't thank you enough!

Bill thank you for this excellent video. It's 2023 and my 2006 Whirlpool top loader overflowed on me. Happened with the load size set to "Super" and it seemed that the fill level was too high (but not overflowing) even when set to Ex Small. After watching your video, I took the path of least resistance, and blew through the pressure sensing hose. It was definitely clogged, and everything is working good again. Less than 10 min effort. Much appreciated!!!

Thank you sir! Your video was spot on. It wasn’t anything electrical at all. I simply checked the pressure sensor hose and sure enough, it was plugged. After I cleared it, the washing machine returned to it’s normal function. Thank you again for your helpful video. Cheers!

Great video Bill! Thanks. If the washer isn't filling and the pressure switch is fine and the washer valve/solenoid checks out as well, there is a fuse on some models between the pressure switch and the controller which may be the problem. Replace it with a 4amp quick blow fuse.

Thank you, we were able to just blow out the pressure switch valve and the new (used) washer is working!

This is a very good instructional video. Very clear and concise instructions on an otherwise tricky subject. I'm having the overfill issue at the moment. One thing I did not see or hear is the multi-meter setting you are using, it's entirely possible I missed it and need to watch it again, which I'm about to do now. Could you list those setting in your comments. Some of us are idiots when it comes to using a multi-meter. Thanks again Bill, keep up the great work!

Bill thank you. I watched several videos on my washer and you were the only one that said also try blowing through that tube to remove any obstructions. And after everything else checked out I did that and it was plugged and fixed the problem. Thank you again.Randy.

Thank you for you trouble shooting videos. I was able to troubleshoot my Maytag LAT8704AAE washer that suddenly stopped filling. First KZfaq video said it was the water control valve, so I ordered it. Then I found your troubleshooting videos on the water control valve and the pressure switch. Checked the WCV it tested good. Proceeded step by step testing the PS (after I finally learned to open my machine) was confused everything tested good, even the “blow” test on the tube, but plugged the washed in a tested and it started filling. As it filled I noticed something white with a blue stripe floating in the water. Appears that a piece of Teflon tape was clogging the PS and the blow rest dislodged it. Thank you, I cancelled the $90 part at this time, but I probably need in the future as we purchased the machine in 1994.

Thank you thank you thank you so so so so much, the repairman didn't show up but I managed to blow out the debris and now I have a perfectly normal working washing machine. May you find ease in all you do :-)

Thanks, you gave me the confidence to take it apart and realize that the hose had just fallen off

Excellent video. Good explanation. I'm sure that if the hose is broken or has a leak, the air pressure will never reach the sensor.....I think that should be mentioned as well showing how to test the hose for air leaks. Thanks for this videos. Good work.

You rock, Bill. Mine shows 23 ohms regardless of how much pressure is applied ( the diaphragm can be heard clicking). Pins 1 and 2 show open in both states. This after LG support ASSURED me that only filling 3" of water with a full load was normal. Thank you... New switch on the way!

Thank you for the video and the tip. I currently have a Speed Queen AWN that suddenly quit filling the tank with water. Checked the hoses, water inlet valve continuity, and the next step is to check this pressure switch.

Thanks for this video. I was getting ready to buy the inlet valves and came across this. Blew on the pressure switch hose and it was clogged. Machine is working like normal now. 👍

Thank you! Our water pressure tube was plugged and you helped us to simply clean and repair it ourselves! Perfect!

Because of your tutorial, I fixed my washer machine. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

Thanks Bill for the video -- well done. My issue was the air chamber (I have a front loader). It was backed up and blunting the pressure switch. The machine is purring like a kitten now and I am a happy camper. It feels good to finally have the washer machine working.

Thanks Billy. Im from Sri Lanka. My washing machine was over filling and found no air coming from the small component connected to the main drum. I removed the air tube and blew it until the the bubbles come from the spinning drum as u said and now its working fine. Thanks once again for the valuable information. -Daminda W

Excellent tutorial… thank you…. Right to the point without all that noise and useless chatter … well done

Hello Bill. I appreciate and enjoy the valuable information that you share in your videos. Thank you!! I have a Kenmore Elite Washer, Model 796.315.12211 that is overfilling with water. It has a 6501EA1001R pressure switch. I followed the described testing procedure using a multi-meter, and the results were as follows; The two outside terminals read 20.9 ohms. The left and center terminals read OL. The center and right terminals read OL. Blowing into the hose doesn't change any of the readings. I hear a noise like the diaphragm moving inside the switches when I blow into the hose, but there is no distinct clicking noise like the clicking noise heard when testing the older type switches. I tested the pressure switch that was on the washer and two new pressure switches, and the readings remained the same whether applying pressure of not. I installed a new water valve, and the new pressure switch, and the washer continued to overfill. The pressure switch hose is clear, tight and unrestricted, and the bulb on the opposite end of the hose that is mounted on the washer is clear. There are no holes in the air hose. I can take the hose off the pressure switch and blow into the hose towards the washer, and there is no restriction. Is it possible that this switch works differently that the usual pressure switches, or do you suppose the new pressure switches were from a bad lot of switches? Do you have any advice? Thanks.

Thanks for your clear explanation. My machine was not filling with water & when I opened up the washing machine i found the pressure switch hose was kinked just before it attaches to the pressure switch so i simply cut it back to below the kink (about 30mm) reattached it, hooked up the water inlet hose, plugged in the power cord & its working very well. Thank you. Ohh & my Simpson Genesis 524 is almost 20 years old.

Thanks Bill,,, perfect instructions for an annoying problem on an annoying appliance

My washing machine is fixed! Thank you so much for posting these detailed videos. You helped me diagnose and fix a broken lid switch (diff video) and obstructed water pressure tube.

Bill, your last suggestion, blowing the hose, worked!!! Thanks!!!

Nicely done! Trying to "long distance" troubleshoot an over-fill issue with our daughter's used GE machine. A true instance of the Internet as a tool, not a toy. Many thanks!

Great video! Fixed my washer. I had to hook hose up to a bike pump to clear the clog and now we are up and running!

Nicely done! I never thought about checking the tub for an obstruction; it would have saved me a soaked kitchen and bedroom.

Thanks! It turns out that the switch was good but I apparently pinched the air hose when I re-attached the back panel when I replaced the electric water valve awhile back. Without your video shown how to test it, I would have wasted money on a fill level switch that I didn't need.

I salute you! Thank you for teaching how to test a water level pressure switch. Many people just tell to replace the switch to fix the error codes 0E and 1E.

nailed it right to the point step by step instructions have washer apart disconnected sensors cleared screens still a no go on the cold water filling up. stumped thanks again. all you guys showing these small but useful tips saved me bookoe money. hope someday I can return the favor in a fix it video. thanks again

Thanks so much for posting this video. My pressure switch tested closed circuit when there was no pressure to it and it never changed. Thanks to the testing technique I was able to open the pressure switch and fix the contact where it was stuck in the closed position. It was tedious putting the switch back together the tiny spring popped out. My washer is working fine now! If you plan on buying a new switch give it a go. I do have basic knowledge of electronics.

Thanks, I'll try this. One guy wants to charge me $225-250 to do this! i 'min the process of taking it apart and fixing it myself! THANKS AGAIN!!!

Fixed my tub just from cleaning it where the hose meets the tub. Tub side was clogged. Thanks for the video, great help!

Thank you. I was just about it replace my inlet valve when found your video. My lg was giving a inlet error. I checked the solonids with a multimeter as described in other videos and they were all giving no signal. then watched your video and looked over at the pressure valve and spotted the pipe was completely popped off the unit. pushed back on and working fine with no errors. Still not sure why I got no reading from the solonids on the water inlet though. works fine now so I don't care lol

Thanks man. I was getting a beep on the multimeter before and while blowing into the pressure switch, and wasn't hearing any click when i blew. Basically i huffed and i puffed and all of a sudden it clicked, and stop beeping. It was like somethiing was clogged. Now everything works! And i ALMOST bought a replacement valve. Thanks again.

Both the Water connector, and the pressure switch videos were very interesting and easy to understand. I will go now, and try to determine what is needed to stop this damn overflowing, and hoping to make it start working. Thanks so much.

not sure if this will fix my problem, but this is the only video ive seen that might be anywhere close to what i need. thanks!

Good job right to the point ! we didn't have to learn your dogs name about your daughters wedding ect ! Thankyou ! expertly done !

you are the best REST IN PIECE BILL we all missing you

Excellent video! Thank you so much for this very helpful video. Our washer tub overflowed and saturated the kitchen and living room. We checked the pressure switch as you instructed and found the hose was clogged. My husband blew the debris out and now the washer functions perfectly 👍🏻. This video saved us a lot of money on a repair man-thanks again!

Watching and learning!!!! Well done: I saw the water fill valve one and it said that OVERFILL could be caused by the fill valve (( like duhhh, I know, but it sadly did NOT occur to me. 😞 )) and now I'll check it too.

Super sir , my support always for u, I am from India,god bless u sir

Really helped. Thanks for helping the average diy

Thank you Mr. Bill you are the best teacher

"Bill 'SuperMan' Newberry!" Thanks! 2 Thumbs UP!!! Subscribed!

Thanks a lot Bill Newberry. You've solved my washing machine problem with your excellent video. Greetings from France.

Nice video, the only thing I would have liked better was if you had shown the schematic that shows which contact on the pressure switch does what.

Thanks for the video! I like that you have no problem touching hose with mouth!!!! Real practical​ man!

You are great. Made my work so easy.....Keep helping people.

Thank you so much Bill for the video it was very helpful, i manage to find the problem with my washing machine, it was my pressure hose which was out and i just plugged it back in now the water isn't overflowing thank you.

The best videos ❤❤❤❤❤ Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Your video is super clear and easy to follow. Thanks.

thanks' for all your videos Bill, those are helpful you are with God now, thanks for everything and blessings for for all your family. thanks, thanks thanks thanks,,,,

Clear demonstration, thanks

thanks man. i just tested mine after getting the code, and it confirmed it`s broken. I'll buy the cheapest universal replacement and see if that helps!

First video l watched with zero dislikes after its been on KZfaq fo nearly 7yrs

This was an excellent video, and I learned more in the 4:05 minute video than I did watching the last 1.5hrs of CRAP videos that just "guessed their way" to a conclusion. Damn shame that Robert William Newberry isn't here with us still, but I'm sure he's posting guard in one of the 4 corners of Heaven!!! Semper Fidelis, from an Army brother! Thank you f f for your comment below, letting us know that Bill isn't here to answer our comments. I would have never known that this Brother has taken the walk before us...and WE ALL HAVE TO answer to our own "Orders Of Deployment."

Mr Newberry, Thank you so much for your educational video. By watching such, I was able to resolve the issue with my Samsung 13KG Toploader, which was suddenly overfilling.

Hey Bill, I own rental property and fix my own "everything". it' the only way I can survive because it's faster for me to try to fix my problems since I don't have to wait for a service tech to arrive and, of course, it is a no cost proposition. Your videos are invaluable to me. You are a great teacher because you explain well and your method is easy to follow and understand. Many thanks, Bo

thanks so much, especially I don't leave any comment, but this video is priceless

Thank you. Nicely explained.

Thanks for a very explanatory video

You do very clear instructions. Thanks so much.

Clearest videos I've seen.I saw your other video too( water inlet valve). Is this broadly similar on an overfilling front loader? Also (on a front loader) if you unplug on fill and it continues to fill likely it is the pressure switch rather than inlet valve?

Our GE washer would not go into spin cycle properly, and would refill the tub and wash the clothes again. We had a washer repairman over a few days ago, and he changed out the 'shock absorbers' that support the tub, but it did not help. Now he thinks it may be the pressure switch. After watching your video with your explanation, I think that was the problem all along. I'm sure it did not hurt to change the other parts out on a 6 year old washer, but who knows. :(

Thank you so much for all your help. You should creat a platform for where you help technician and charge a monthly fee because I would pay

Great vid but how should i set the multi-meter up please ???

Great easy Video to watch Thank you

Bill Newberry, thanks...the whirlpool will work again you rock peace

Thank you very much. You have helped me. May Allah guide you to all the bests.

Thanks for really useful videos

Thanks Bill for explaining this .

very very well and clearly explained. well done.

thanks Bill! it saved me time to understand how it works

Hi Bill, thanks for your video's, they're very informative. I'm having a problem with the cold fill on my old Kenmore. I turn it on and I'm barely getting any cold water fill. I replaced the hot/cold solenoid / valves, but it's still doing the same thing. It fills with the hot water though with no problem. My question is, if the problem was the pressure switch, wouldn't it be happening with both the hot and the cold?

Bill you're great technician. I like your videos, very helpful

Very good for the old washing machines. Those use diaphragm, spring and it is basically a switch On or Off. New water level sensors in washing machines use a diaphragm the moves a ferrite core into a coil so this variable inductor affects the frequency of a board circuit so the microcontroller knows by frequency the water level of the tank. Basically it is not component you can measure by continuity. You may need another used or brand new water level sensor or an oscilloscope to check for the frequency change according to water level.

Thank you same here tube was blocked. Thanks to make the video.

Excellent tutorials! Thank you!

Is there a way to clean our the small container on the side of the tub that where air pressure for the load size comes from? There is all kinds of soap debris in that container that is getting pushed up into the pressure hose. Great videos btw!

thank you for this video bill …. mine had some kind of slime in the hose I cleaned it out and it worked …. too bad I did not check this before it flooded my back porch and my basemen …. ive been ripping up cork board all day …. some kind of sub-floor that was under the carpet that absorbs a lot of water... but anyway thank you !!!!!

You are awesome I got it the first time

Thanks for the video! Where can I get manuals and schematics for a front load washer Frigidaire affinity?

After replacing the switch and the tube my washer still didn't fill with water correctly. It turned out the air dome had debris in it. The air dome is where the hose connects at the tub. Blowing it out with canned air did the trick.

Nice tutorial it helps a lotright now i have same problem
