Hi,

I replaced the water-level pressure switch with a new kit but it did not resolve my problem. After installing the switch and line, I selected the lowest level but the tub continued to fill beyond the smallest wash level. I have a Kenmore Model # 110.20902. What other part or solution could resolve my issue?

BTW: I read replacing the water inlet valve night be involved but I already did that within the last six months and everything worked fine until I noticed the water level had changed the last two washes to a large load only. In fact, the water looked above the large level during my last wash.

I would appreciate any insight.
