I have a WWXR4100T5WW washer that is around 12 years old. I would rather fix it than replace it. Here is the problem. Washer runs threw every cycle. It will fill and stat to agitate. When in gets to the drain cycle before it spins in keeps draining like it is full. It will not fill back up again for the 2nd cycle because the washer thinks it is still full of water but the drain pump will stop at the next cycle. When it goes into rinse cycle one again it runs the cycle but the pump keeps running for the cycle thinking the tub is full. I checked the hose that runs from the tub to the switch and there is no leaks in it. I am not sure what would control this. I have looked at the parts list but I am still lost lol. Can anybody help me with this problem? T.I.A.

Could be a defective fill level switch that thinks the washer is still full of water, but first thing I would check is a blockage on the side of the tub where that tube attaches, known problems with this blocking the air to the tube so the washer does not know it is empty.. try blowing air down the tube back into the tub to see if it will clear, or remove the tube and take a wire to the hole in the side of the tub....have read where sometimes the spin basket has to be removed to clear this clog...also where the tub itself had to be replaced if it would not clear.....this is if your fill level switch is ok....but if it acts normal for the wash cycle suspect it would be ok for the rinse...?

First thing I check was the line running up. I had a problem in the past with it clogging and it thought it was empty and over filled on me. I did shoot air threw the hose and and into the part where it plugs into the tub. It doesn't do it all the time. It does this about 75% of the time. As I said it will fill at the start fine. When it drains it keep draining for the whole spin cycle and never spin. When in goes to rinse it will not add water because it thinks it is still full. Where would the fill level switch be located? Thanks for the reply.

IN the console, the thing you set the water level with.

Looks like a fill level switch, assumed you looked it up by your model number? to be sure it is for yours? but you will be wanting to check yours with an ohm meter before buying something that may or may not be the problem? Need to see if it is making/breaking contacts when it should.

Yeah I looked it up by the model #. Old part # was WH12X1018 and they replaced it was WH12X10068. Thanks for the help. I will be sure to let you know how I made out.
Keep up the good work on the site!

Sorry, I had to remove that link as that parts company isn't affiliated with us.

Here's the water level pressure switch for your model:
Manufacturer's Number: WH12X10068

NP. Sorry about the link. To tell you the truth I didn't even see the banners at first lol. I didn't use the people in the link I posted to order haha. My buddy knows somebody that works at GE so they ordered it for me. Will post back on how I make out when it comes in. Thanks for all the replies.

Ok, sounds good.
