The GE pressure switch is an OEM replacement part responsible for monitoring and regulating the water level in the washing machine during the different cycles. This part is typically located within the washing machine's control panel or housing, connected to the water level or pressure hose that connects to the tub. The pressure switch works by sensing the air pressure within the hose, which changes as the water level in the washing machine's drum rises or falls. It sends signals to the washer's control system to initiate the fill or drain cycles, ensuring that the appropriate amount of water is used for each load. This GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances. This part fixes the following symptoms Overfilling or underfilling of water in the washing machine Washing machine not filling with water at all Inability to complete the wash or rinse cycles Water continuously filling or draining from the washing machine
