Very informative video indeed. Got an issue with my Miele premier 300 showing "check drain" light when emptying and it won't spin after a cycle. So I'll give this a try and fingers crossed. Took the bottle off this morning and it was full of gunk, only leaving a small hole for air to get through. Cleaned it out and replaced. My washing machine is now spinning again and better than ever. Thanks eSpares you've saved me a small fortune.

Great video thanks. I have a Gorenje washing machine which is very good and to be fair, rarely have an issue with its function. I am normally ok fixing simply things as long as there is excellent videos like this to identify fault. My machine would wash but refused to spin, a classic pressure switch issue. I checked all the pipes for blockages as well; they were all clear until i saw this video and checked door seal aperture. So the point of my post is for Gorenje owners because the machine doesn't have the classic chamber. The hose comes up from the pump and sits on an aperture in the door seal. Poking my finger up from inside the machine I found a slug of stinking mush that had completely blocked the aperture, fooling the pressure switch. Gave that a good clean out and hey presto works a dream now. So thanks Espares for putting me on the right trail.

Blew into pressure switch, before i got to the part about don't blow into the pressure switch. ^_^ Anyways I believe it's fine just gave it a little puff of air and heard the switch engage. Blew down the hose as well so I know there isn't an obstruction. (washer overflowed) So now i'm on to find out if there is a relay or something that went bad... Thanks for the help though. :)

I was really hoping to learn how to diagnose the pressure switch instead of the hose and the chamber. A technician told me when you blow into it it should click twice, one for the heater element signal and one for the max water level. Mine only clicks once so i was hoping to get an answer from here.
@eSpares4 жыл бұрын
HI Leon de Bruin, pressure switches on older models did have the levels you could check by blowing down but the new electronic models you can blow down so you need to check the hose and chamber at the same time to be sure what has failed but it would normally have more than one level.

Hi, Thanks for the Video. My Samsung Eco-bubble washing machine has an issue with the LED display panel. The panel is off meaning I am 'flying blind'. Washing sometimes takes 9 hours and even after this, the clothes are still dirty. The local dealer/ technician is proposing a replacement of the main control board. Please let me have your opinion on this matter
@eSpares7 жыл бұрын
Hi George, If there is no display there should not be any other problem that could cause this other than a control panel fault. The long wash cycle may be due to the machine not heating the water but if this has occurred at the same time as the display fault again the cause could be the control panel.

Hello, my Indesit 126s recently discovered a problem. The Drying and spinnig is runnig perfectly but if i set a washing program the washer stops. First it gets water in and spins a few times but when it comes to the waater flushing it directly stops and the leds flash. from the left its led 1 and 3 so fault code f10 pressure switch not sensing. I testet the hose by blowing air in it and it starts bubbleing inside. is it possible that a broken sensor causes the problem? how do i test this?

Hi Xad, 2 litres is just enough to fill the chamber and activate the pressure switch but don't worry if it is a little bit more or less it should still work.

After researching for our kenmore elite oasis things seemed to point to the pressure switch which unfortunately is expensive because it's part of the main board and not a seperate piece like on older machines. Got the 1st one(main board) and still the same problem of overfilling. That's after blowing through the hose and makingsure it was clear. Code of f68 still punted to a bad switch so I ordered another and same thing. Talked with a tech who said it was probably the hose and that it probably had a pin hole in it so I ordered a new hose and installed. Same problem still exist but with no codes. What gives?
@eSpares5 жыл бұрын
Hi Charles, no idea but let's look at this logically when a machine fills the amount is controlled by the pressure switch and the board, if changed then the only thing is the valve is not switching off or there is a blockage in the pressure chamber.

The procedure you are quoting is usually for resetting Hotpoint or Indesit machines if they have been moved so the water pressure sensor will correctly identify how much water is in the drum. It will not reset anything else.

Hi Ken, check the pressure switch and the pressure chamber for a blockage which may be causing the irregular fill levels but if OK it could be the main board.

Hi, I have got Simpson SWT604 washing machine. It keeps on filling water and then overflows and the cycle never starts nor it drains or rinse. Actually, it does not start any sort of cycle. i have checked the hose connecting pressure switch. it is fine with no damages and kinks. The pressure switch i have got has only two connections and they show continuity whether i am blowing into pressure switch or not. When I opened the pressure switch to see inside, it had a bit of water on the rubber seal but could not find any water or moisture traces underneath which could affect electrical solenoid sort of circuitry. I suspect that pressure switch is defective and I should replace it. what do you suggest? and why it does not have three contacts as i see in most of the videos on youtube and internet. Another thing to mention is that I have blown into the tube to check blockages which was clear but i have not cleaned the plastic chamber which you have mentioned in video to be opened from downside and need to be cleared of any detergent which i will do tomorrow.

I have a Bosch Nexxt DLX Model 4301UC/03 Could the Pressure Switch cause my machine to fill with water than immediately drain? It doesn't agitate or anything. Just fills then drains and shuts off and unlocks the door and the display still shows the time for the cycle. This has been going on for some time now. I can let is go for a few days and the machine will work fine for a few months then it starts doing this all over again. It's driving me crazy. Grrrrrr!!!

Hi Susan, we need to rule out everything as it sounds like the board which is difficult to diagnose so let's address the issue. First, it is unlikely to be the pressure switch as it will not switch the water off until it has reached the correct level, second, it has not detected an error code which can point to the board. check it is not syphoning the water due to the outlet hose being too low and check the connections to the pressure switch and the board.
