5. Operating Principle (Function)
The pressure switch operates based on the air pressure within a sealed air dome tube connected to the bottom of the washer tub. As the tub fills with water, the water level rises, trapping air in the tube and increasing the air pressure. The pressure switch detects this change in pressure. Once the pressure reaches a predetermined level, indicating the desired water level has been achieved, the switch sends a signal to the washer's control board to stop the water inlet valve and proceed with the wash cycle. If the switch is faulty, it may lead to incorrect water levels, such as overfilling or underfilling.
6. Manteniment
The Generic Pressure Switch is a sealed electronic component and generally requires no routine user maintenance. It is designed for durability and reliable operation. To ensure its longevity and proper function, it is recommended to:
- Ensure the air dome tube connected to the switch is free from kinks, blockages, or leaks.
- Keep the area around the pressure switch clean and free of debris.
