    Can't thank you enough man! Sunday night, washing clothes, helping the wife get kids ready for bed suddenly our laundry room is a lake of water. UA-cam the problem and watched your video. I have a GE but similar to your washer. Checked what you said and boom that was the problem. Cleaned line. Put back together and we're back washing clothes. Thank you again!!!!!!

    My washer was over flowing.
    After watching your video I inspected my washer and found the air hose was completely clogged with gunk.
    I was able to cut out about 4 inches of the clogged hose.
    Tested the small medium and large settings. Everything is working perfectly.
    You saved me a service call and probably a couple hundred bucks.
    You are the man!!!
    Thanks for posting that repair.
    God bless you.

    You saved me from buying a washing machine. It's been raining when my washing machine overflowed & what a mess! It was too late when I realized my wash room , guestbath & down the basement were flooded. I am more the handyperson than my hubby & thought I'll give it a try since I've got so much wet clothes & towels that would stink if not dried. Sure enough,there was much debris in the hose which I cut & clean & rig back so it will reach the switch. My only difficulty was putting back the frame where my hubby helped me align it. Many thanks to this simple, easy to understand video that even an older lady like me can do.

    Dude;this video made my day! I did the blowing trick into the pressure switch and it clicked,then i cutted off 1 inch from both ends of the hose and with a straightened paper clip cleaned through the fitting hole at the bottom,where the hose connects.Last step before connecting the hose to the switch, i blew air through the fitting hole to remove any obstructions away. Now the switch works like new and i didn't have to spend money to fix it.Thank you very much for this video. 🙂🤝👍

    You saved me I've had to replace the washer dogs (crumbled when I took the housing apart), lid switch (someone bypassed it before I got it and it fell apart and the lines were sketchy), and the coupler was broken in half but every part was discovered after I replaced the other one so I had to wait for the delivery even with prime took that long only to have an overfill problem and the agitator wasn't starting I cut the tip off the hose I was about ready to throw in the towel I have had the entire thing completely disassembled making sure nothing else was broken before putting it back together also if anyone decides to work on a washer go from the front not the back if you don't want to make it harder on yourself 😅you saved me with your video it is running like a dream now (I couldn't get the agitator apart Kenmore 70 series washer 2003 got it all the way to the base I couldn't replace the worn out belt which I still don't understand what it attaches to exactly if you have any tips would love it)

    Posted this on another video but will add it here. First I do thank the guys for posting their videos to help people save money on repairs. While all this information was very good it needs just a bit more. While he does go into the hose and it was apparently clogged, he never mentions that sorta clear canister the hose hooked to. Kenmore calls is an Air Dome, and if you tried blowing from the switch side towards that, heard no air flow and about blew your cheeks out then it is plugged. I found a fix from another guy with a GE with same problems. The solution was a can of compressed air. I tried it, heard a pop in just a few seconds (no clue what it was but all works fine) blew through the hose again and I could hear air flowing in the canister/air dome. Put it back together, did test runs and the machine filled and shut off at the proper levels every time. This was on an older Kenmore and I do not know what new ones use or look like, but I know it solved my problem after going through all the related steps. Hope that will be helpful to some others a no where I could find, is there any information on the part of the machine being an issue.

  • @BIZARBIES

    If you do this don't forget to blow the hose the other way too, away from the pressure switch. It should have no resistance and air should flow with your test.

And I believe the spin cycle caused it to come off especially when out of balance. I snipped the worn end of the hose and reinstalled it. Who knows how much a service tech would’ve charged me.
