I don't know but the similarity in part number would suggest one is a revision of the other or originates from a different manufacturer.

If they are dimensionally similar it would be worth a try if the correct replacement isn't available. The main thing to watch out for could be differences between the tracks of the two types.
There are four types of carbon potentiometer tracks; linear, logarithmic and anti-clockwise versions of those two. Linear types tend to be used for adjusting voltage whereas log types are about sound. Used for volume controls they closely mimmick the logarithmic response of human hearing.

The difference is easily recognised using an analogue ohmmeter.
Fitting a linear in the place of a log type would likely mean most of the adjustment would be bunched at one end of the track.

Although manufacturers tend to give spare parts of their own products fancy part numbers, very few are specially made and most are sourced from catalogues of generic parts. It is often cheaper to take a look in constructor catalogues and those supplying parts to the repair trade before resorting to manufacturer's spare parts.

How can float level sensor be tested on lg intellowasher 7.2kg wd-8050f ?

OKAY...

No MAKE, MODEL, YEAR or whatever FLOAT
sensor we are talking about... (general terms).

(( first thing to check... the float actually floats )).

"FLOAT" sensors... are TYPICALLY a variable
resistor
(potentiometer) in a circuit...
(as the surface of the FLOATABLE liquid rises
the movement/change is registered by physical
movement (a float arm changes the potentiometer).

Again... TYPICALLY... to GROUND.

To test the potentiometer... One need only
ISOLATE the "sensor" electrically from
any other circuits and test for RESISTANCE
at the bottom of the FLOAT's travel...
and again at the TOP of the float travel...

There are no RULES for resistances...
so you will have to start at the HIGH end
of your RESISTANCE (OHMS) SCALE...

and try again at the LOW END.

Finding any smooth scale of resistance.. is
an iterative process (means you repeat the
process until you actually see SOMETHING...

(Over & over... Again & again)

My best
advice would be to find a WORKING FLOAT...
Determine what a WORKING RESISTANCE: looks like.

Use your Ohm Meter to determine if YOUR
FLOAT LEVEL SENSOR is still capable of
varying RESISTANCE in relation to the actual
FLOAT POSITION... (???).

Keep in mind... floats don't ALWAYS float.

What do you call the little switch under the knob that make tread meal go faster? I have a model 9890 Vistamaster and it shorted out

The little device is known as a potentiometer if it has 3 terminals. Unlikely but if only 2 terminals it is a rheostat.

The device should be replaced with an identical device if possible and the original should be marked with the type and value, eg. log, antilog or lin(ear) and 50R, 50K or 50M or any of many other values.
If designed to handle significant current it will be marked wirewound...

Most electronics constructor outlets will stock a range of these fairly standard devices.

What is a compatible replacement for the factory subwoofer?

Most common speakers will interchange as long as the diameter and depth as well as the wattage and oms are the same as the factory speakers.There is no need to buy overpriced equipment for a factory car system. It"s overkill.

Throttle position sensor

Yes. the throttle potentiometer operates on resistance and accordingly opens or closes the throttle to adjust the amount of air intake going into the air horn.
Good luck.

My 2002 hyundai accent hesitates when i accelerate

Numerous possible causes. First thing I suggest you check/inspect is the Throttle Position Sensor. This sensor is located on the throttle body and has a three-pin connector connected to it. You'll want to find out if the sensor (it's a potentiometer, a rheostat) has any poor contact points inside. This can be done by using an analog ohm meter. If you don't know how to do this, ask someone who does to show you. What you'll be doing is checking to see if the 'resistance' in the potentiometer changes erratically as you rotate the throttle opening, indicating there are bad spots in the pot. If this is the case, the pot is sending these signals to the engine computer, and the computer (ECU) uses this voltage/resistance signal to compute the engine load expected by the driver's input on the accelerator pedal.

How many miles for a tune up 2005 chevy trailblazer

Most of the car dealers recommend to perform Maintenance services scheduled at 30K, 50K, 90K and so on.
At 30K they mostly inspect all the systems, and replace fuel filter.
At 60K they inspect systems and flush must of the fluids, transmission oil and filter, coolant, brake fluid, differential and transfer case fluid, and replace the air filter. Some replace the spark plus at 60K some at 100K.
At 90K all timing belts are replaced, and the status of the timing chain checked. A deviation of more than 5 degree means, there it is the time ayes on the timing chain.
At the Owners manual for 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer recommend:
Inspect all the systems at 25K, and replace fuel filter.
Replace engine air cleaner filter, automatic transmission fluid, automatic transfer case fluid every 50K.
Replace spark plugs every 100K.
Maintenance Services for your car are scheduled at 25K, 50K, 75K,100K and so on. All are tune ups but they are not the same.
The only concern for GM is the GM Dex-Cool antifreeze. There are some complaints regarding this product. I recommend to flush the cooling system every 50K to 60K.

WHAT DOES A 50K SERVICE CONSIST OF AND WHAT DOES IT COST...

the 50k service is about $500.00, its inspecting the evap system and fuel system then replacing trany filter and replacing fluid to trany, replace air filter and rotate tires, then check a few other things like front end . this also depends on if the truck is driven in normal conditions or severe conditions like high heat and dirt.
