    Module Repair Lab helps diagnose and resolve washer overfilling on Whirlpool-family top-load machines (Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana). Common root causes include the board-mounted water-level pressure sensor, a clogged or leaking pressure hose & air dome, a stuck inlet valve, or control-board signal faults. We provide parts guidance and service options for whirlpool top load pressure sensor diagnostics, washer machine pressure switch paths, and overfill recovery.



    Washer Overfilling Fix | Whirlpool / Maytag / Amana Pressure Sensor

    If your machine won’t stop filling, start with the water-level feedback path. Most Whirlpool-family top-loaders use a PCB-mounted piezoresistive pressure sensor that reads the tub’s air pressure via a small hose and air dome. Clogs, kinks, leaks, or a drifting sensor can prevent the control board from “seeing” full, leading to persistent whirlpool washer overfilling / whirlpool washer overfill. A stuck inlet valve can also cause continuous fill regardless of the sensor.

    Symptoms We Address (Overfill/Level Faults)

    • Whirlpool washer overfilling / whirlpool washer overfill
    • Maytag washer overfilling during normal cycles
    • Amana washer overfilling after hose/valve replacements
    • Erratic or no response from washer machine pressure switch
    • Overfill errors after load-size or water-level selections

    What to Check Before Replacing Parts

    Inspect the pressure hose end-to-end for soap residue, lint, kinks, or pinholes; clean the air dome at the tub; and reseat both ends. Perform a quick valve test: if water keeps flowing with the power plug removed, the inlet valve is stuck and must be replaced. If flow stops immediately when unplugged, focus on sensor/hose/control. Advanced users may meter the sensor signal for a smooth rise from ~0.5 V toward ~4+ V as water level increases.

    About the Pressure Sensor

    This gage-type transducer provides an analog voltage to the control board (≈0.5–4.5 V). Replacement typically requires desoldering, pad cleanup, correct orientation, and careful soldering. Always match against your control-board part number and sensor package.

    Before & After: Whirlpool Top-Load Overfill Fix (Example)

    Before repair — Whirlpool top-load overfilling due to clogged pressure hose and drifted pressure sensor
    Before
    Overfill: hose clog + sensor drift; water level never reached “full.”
    After repair — Whirlpool top-load washer fills to correct level after pressure path cleaned and sensor replaced
    After
    Pressure path restored; sensor replaced; inlet valve verified — normal fill.

    Frequently Asked Questions (Washer Overfill)

    Does “whirlpool washer overfilling” always mean the pressure sensor failed?

    Not always. Air leaks/clogs in the hose or air dome and a stuck inlet valve are common. Rule those out first; if the issue persists, test or replace the pressure sensor.

    What’s the quick way to tell valve vs. sensor?

    If water continues to flow with the washer unplugged, the inlet valve is mechanically stuck and must be replaced. If it stops immediately, focus on sensor/hose/control.

    Are board-mounted pressure sensors interchangeable?

    Not necessarily. Match the sensor package, pinout, and your control board’s part number. When in doubt, replace with the exact specification recommended for your model.

    ¿Tienen guía en español para el sensor de presión?

    Sí: Revise primero la manguera de presión y el domo de aire; limpie obstrucciones, cambie mangueras agrietadas y pruebe la válvula de entrada. El sensor típico entrega ~0.5–4.5 V.
