Washing machine acts like it starts in the middle of the fill cycle. it is supposed to fill, determine the load size then start agitating. instead the agitator starts right away and after the cycle is done the clothes are wet. was advised to blow out pressure switch hose to reset sensor.

Hi,
It sounds like it could be the coupling that has worn or broke, to verify this put the washer in spin, let it drain the water out (if it will) then turn off the timer or open the lid, wait 10 seconds or so then start back up in spin. If the washer just whines then it is most likely the coupling. I have put together some instructions on this if you follow this link it will tell you more about it and how to replace it if you wish. Let me know if this helps.

Hi.
To start call Kenmore to verify warranty status, parts warranty often lasts over one year.
Regarding the problem, the only device that can cause skipping fill part of the cycle and going to agitate is the pressure switch. You can replace the pressure switch just in case, as this is not an as epensive part, even if I think that the problem is a defective control board.

Hi May be a plugged Pressure Hose connected to the Water Level Switch in the Control Panel, Please get back to us if you have further query else please accept the suggestion.
other end connects to Tub. Try blowing through the Pressure Tube . This problem is going to be in the water level control or the tube that connects to the control may be partially clogged. if it is partially clogged the tube can retain pressure essentially fooling the water level control into thinking the tub is full. The best thing to do is to take the washer apart and check the tube to see if it is clogged and if not replace the water level control.
Thank you for contacting fixya.com

I had the same issue. When I started the machine it began agitating and then began to fill as if it is beginning the second rinse cycle - well I think it was.... SO, I threw in some towels and began the cycle at the second rinse part of the cycle. Low and behold, the next load started and finished just fine.
I hope this helps. This is just one of many issues with this machine, but luckily I haven't had to call the repairman yet! They all seem to revolve around the thing being out of sync.
