my Kenmore washer, model #11028332700, water level switch wont turn. can wash small loads only.
I don't understand...because I cant move the knob on the water pressure switch, from one load size to another, I have to change the whole switch? I am getting the correct amount of water for the small load, I just cant move the knob to another load size.
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

Water level switch (Water Level Pressure Switch)
Part Number PS3408149 This part is located behind the control panel. It helps determine the level of water in the washer. As the water fills the hose, while tub is filling, it will push the air against a diaphragm inside the switch. More water that enters the tub, more pressure is applied against the switch.
Here's a video on how to change one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oi8uUPFg...

This would keep the knob from turning from a small load? My washer is the same way. At first it was just hard to switch from small load to medium etc. Now it’s just stuck on small load
Ok guys. Here's how to save yourself 70 dollars for a new unit. If the only problem is that the knob is stuck on small then this should work. Open up the panel, disconnect the tube and electrical for the switch, remove the switch by lifting the tab underneath and rotating it 45 degrees. Then take some silicone based lubricant and squeeze a few drops onto the cylinder ( the one with the screw on the top) while holding it vertical so the lubricant flows down along the sides of the cylinder. That should do it. Put it back together and you're good.
Thanks, Andrew X! The silicon-based lubricant trick worked like a charm!
I also found a little grease helped address this issue
Thanks Andrew worked like a charm
