20010118 – Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Water Level Switch

The 20010118 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Water Level Switch is a precision-engineered control component designed specifically for Whirlpool washing machines. As a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part, it is built to meet Whirlpool’s exact factory specifications for accuracy, durability, and safe water level regulation.

Available through Appliance Kingdom, a trusted Canadian supplier based in Edmonton, AB, this part ships quickly across Canada and is commonly used by homeowners, landlords, and appliance repair professionals to restore proper washer performance when water level sensing issues occur.

Function & Importance of the Water Level Switch (Washer Pressure Switch)

The water level switch is responsible for detecting and controlling the amount of water inside the washing machine drum during each cycle.

In a Whirlpool washer, this component:

  • Monitors internal air pressure inside a connected hose system

  • Sends signals to the control board to stop or allow water filling

  • Ensures correct water levels for different wash cycles and load sizes

When functioning correctly, it prevents both overfilling and underfilling, helping maintain efficient cleaning performance and protecting internal components from water-related damage.

OEM accuracy is critical here—incorrect pressure readings can disrupt wash cycles, waste water, or cause mechanical strain on the appliance system.

Common Symptoms of a Faulty Water Level Switch

A failing Whirlpool water level switch (like part 20010118) can cause several noticeable issues:

  • Washer overfills or underfills with water

  • Machine does not fill at all despite cycle start

  • Washer stops mid-cycle unexpectedly

  • Continuous filling or failure to shut off water supply

  • Incomplete wash or rinse cycles

  • Clothes come out poorly cleaned due to incorrect water levels

These symptoms typically indicate that the washer is not correctly detecting water pressure changes, which directly points to a faulty or malfunctioning water level switch.

Compatibility Guidance

  • Designed for Whirlpool washing machines (washer category only)

  • Also commonly used in select Whirlpool-family brands (varies by model series)

To ensure proper fit and performance, always verify your washer model number before ordering. If uncertain, Appliance Kingdom support can assist with compatibility confirmation.
