Hello my maytag washer fills up with water and does not stop filling up, where can i locate the water level switch if thats the problem
The water level selector switch on the left side of the control panel on top of the machine is also the sensor that lets the machine know it has enough water. This has a small hose connected to it that is also connected to a low position on the water tub. As water moves up this tube (as the tub fills) the change in air pressure at the sensor allows the the switch to do it's job. The hose must NOT have any kinks or blockages for it to work properly. (I've seen them pinched between other parts before, which caused them not to work.) The hose must also not have any holes or cracks in it, and must be securely connected on both ends. You can test the switch by pulling the hose loose down on the tub, starting the water fill, and very gently pushing air into this hose with your mouth. The switch should turn off and on when you blow air into the hose and release it. If the switch does not turn off the water (and all the wiring connections are clean and properly connected), then you most likely need to replace the switch/sensor assembly.
