Whirlpool W10415587 Washer Water-Level Pressure Switch, red

My Whirlpool Duet washer displayed SUD and F35 errors. Turns out this is a common problem. Most people believe this to be the fault of the Analog Pressure Sensor (APS) and most people replace it. I did so and it worked -- but now, three years later, the problem repeated.Replacing this part is straight forward. Unplug the washer, unscrew and remove the top. Turn the old part 90 degrees counter-clockwise to pull it away from the washing machine holding notch and then gingerly remove the wiring harness from the old part. Attach the wiring harness to the new part, insert the part into the holding notch, and turn it clockwise 90 degrees -- job done. Three years ago when I did this it took longer but this time it was easy -- a ten minute fix with most of that time fiddling with the harness.This time, after installing the new part, the error codes remained. I did some more web searching and found an answer. The real issue is a pair of fried capacitors. Search YouTube for Jarred Johnson's "New and Improved. Fix your Whirlpool Washer with "SUDS" and F35 error" -- it explains what's happened and why and what to do.The fix entails getting to the Control Panel Unit (CPU) and replacing two faulty capacitors, rated 2200uF/10v, with 2200uF/25v units. You may source the replacement capacitors locally from an electronics store (for under a dollar each) or order online (factor in handling & shipping).Getting to the circuit board is a bit of a chore, at least for me. You'll have fun dislodging the CPU from the washer, removing the plethora of wiring harnesses, and opening the housing unit which houses and protects the circuit board. But with some thought and care and determination (and perhaps choice but misplaced colorful language) it can be done. When I finally got to the capacitors I could clearly see the slightly distended tops -- a sure sign of fried/blown/shot/overextended capacitors.I had to borrow a soldering iron because I couldn't find mine (hadn't used it in years) but just could not dislodge the last bit of solder, even with a solder sucker. In the end, I took the board to a local tv repairman who replaced the capacitors for $10 -- parts and labor -- in about two minutes. (He just heated that soldered hole and slid in the new capacitor lead wire which slipped right in -- real easy once you see it done.)With the faulty capacitors replaced, my Duet washer works good as new.So. You can buy this expensive APS and maybe get temporary relief -- or go the extra mile and dig out that circuit board and replace the capacitors for a lot less. As I mentioned earlier, the APS solution worked for me for three years but this one may be the ultimate fix up front.

I have an 8 year old Whirlpool Duet Steam washing machine. Last month I started getting the "SUDS/F35" error codes. I did some research and found that the pressure switch was the culprit in my case. I ordered the switch and received it a short time later. My only knock was how it was packaged, it arrived in an envelope with bubble lining, this provided limited protection. I would think a small box would be better suited for shipping delicate items. Luckily my part made it without getting broken during shipping.Before you install the new pressure switch, read the instructions included with the new switch carefully!! If this switch is an upgrade from the OEM old switch that is being replaced, some new switches require that the connector from the washer will have to have the single plastic guide key on the edge of the connector trimmed off to allow the connector and the new pressure switch to connect properly. You will know this needs to be done if you can't get the connector to clip into the new pressure switch.I had to trim my connector guide key, I used a pair of pliers and simply grasped the guide key and twisted it off, voila, it connected to the pressure switch.I have washed several loads of laundry since the switch replacement, no issues, no error codes!

After purchasing an off brand pressure switch for a lot less I discovered it didn't fit properly nor work. Lesson learned, buying a genuine OEM part made all the difference. It was very easy to install.

Received this product before the scheduled delivery date. Worked great and so easy to install. Took literally 5 min to replace. After reading a lot on the internet about the problem of f35 suds error code I decided to replace this part first. Not sure if this makes any difference on determining whether this part is bad or if it is the control panel but my washer was intermittent on throwing the code and would finally work after several tries. My husband said it seemed like it would work after warming up so he tried warming it with a hairdryer and it seemed to work fine after warming it with the hairdryer. The part was a perfect fit for my washer which is Maytag duet steam washer 5000 series. Good luck and hope this works for you.

Tried the YouTube video fixes and tests but nothing seemed to help. Still had the SUD and F35 errors popping up. Wife had a repairman come out and look at it. He said it was the pressure switch and it would take a week to get it and it was going to cost another $230 for him to come out and install it. I told her I found this one and could have it in a couple of days and install it myself. Washer has been working great. Got the new on and did some Ohm readings on the pins before I installed it and again on the old one once it was removed. The old one was definitely bad.

Had the SUDS and F-35 warning on the Kenmore Elite HE-5t. Tried a few snake oil fixes w/ the pressure sensor & none worked, so decided to replace it. Was a bit of a decision, vis-à-vis the whole $600'ish for a nice new washer or $60 for a new sensor that may or may not work.As I wasn't sure the sensor would fix the problem, I bought it here on Amazon for the return policy (~$91). The box does say some nonsense about not being able to return it after opening, but, fear not, that doesn't fly here.The good news? The new sensor worked. The bad news? It cost $98, when I include my sales tax.
