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.
Thanks for reposting. I think I watched the other video you originally posted this to but now I finally understand. Blow it at both ends.
Exact problem with mine. Hose was clogged and had come detached! Now it works again. Thanks for saving me $$$!
This video helped my today. Thank you so much😊
Exactly what I needed. Saved us at least 250$. Thank you!
People on youtube that make videos of them fixing things are the true heros. Thank you for saving me a repair bill.
Very helpful, thank you!!! You're doing more than you know for us
hello am james and i love this video..my washer was overflow water and i follow your video and that was the problem and i fix it n it work like new washer...i want to thank you alot
I just wanted to say I fixed the problem that was exactly the same as your video thank you 😊
Awesome work... thanks ... wondering ...The title mentioned three reasons..?? One is the hose.. the other two??
Once ok, all forgot abt the other 2!
Good to know!! Thank you for all your videos!! 🙏🏽
This is the kind of washer I want!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I worked!!
Will try looks like the problem Thanks
Thank you!!!
What’s up growmie!!!! Just subscribed 💯💯💯💯💯💯
I’m going to try this today, but this was only 1 reason no? Are there many reasons and 1 main solution being this one?
Thank you, Sam!!
Thank You, hose was disconnected
Pressure thing worked fine, hose had no leaks, cut hose and re mounted. Remounted washer cover multiple times with no luck. Fills and cycles well but the stupid cover is janky. Wtf?
a rat ate a hole in my water level rubber tube . . . flood zone
Still don’t work.
He said push toward you. How do you even do that. Bad terminology bud bud.
Ive got a electronic whirlpool washer it agitates instantly before filling with water. After final spin it rinses again. The pressure hose goes to the fabric softener switch. Any ideas? Thanks
Just clean the inside the hose, add small sip ties or metal tension clamp, put back together. Never cut the hose for tightness. They are that length for a reason.
Thanks good video. My maytag commercial the hose goes to a switch but it has two plugs going into it. One has about 8 wires in one connector going to it. Will it click like the one you have if it is good or is it electrical ?
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.
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 pressure hose was completely disconnected at the switcher. This took me 3 minutes to fix and the lady was looking for a new washer. Not today! Thank you.
Same here same situation loool. Thankd alot man this video definitely helped us alot
Great video. I like the way you repeat the items that you think are critical to the issue at hand. That will irritate some people but they can go somewhere else.
This video was well done, very clear, concise and to the point.
Excellent.
Great video. I like how you repeat the items you think are critical to the issue at hand. That will irritate some people but they can go somewhere else. This was a great video. Clear and concise to the point. 👍
So, you want to select warm/warm setting to check both cold and hot valve solenoids.
My Grandmother's 1984 Maytag Dependable Care Washer was overflowing, we could not find out what it was, she called someone to try and fix it but they were not a help. She ended up having to get a whole new washer, if she watched this she could have kept her favorite washer up and running.
What are the odds that I find a video of a guy with the same model of washer that I have, showing me how to fix my exact problem? Well, they’re pretty good, actually. I was able to fix my machine and save a lot of money. Thank you!!!!
3 reasons: Clogged hose, loose hose, cracked hose. Correct? Thank you for a very informative video.
Thank you for the video a great help God bless
Special thanks to you from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
I just disassembled my washing machine and forgot to reconnect that hose.
I learned two things; the diagnosing and the mechanism of the pressure switch
👍👍
Your video just save me a lot of money. Thanks for posting it on here, and thank you for the repeats of the important parts
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.
Thank you for your video. I was able to fix my washer by myself with your instructions.
You just save me from paying a technician over 200 dollars good job thank you. It work 😁
Thank you so much for your video . I could easily fix my washing machine today. The air tube had a leak .I bought a new one and it works fine again.
You are officially my god! Thank you! All it took was snipping the end of the hose. Beautiful!
Your sharing helps a lot bro. Appreciate it very much. Greetings from Malaysia 🇲🇾
Thank you so much my house got a little flooded and now i have to suck the water out of carpet and replace back boards and drywall, but i fix the damn washer! Thanks to you!!
Thanks...the lower end of the hose had a hole in it. All fixed now!
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. 🙂🤝👍
Thank you sir. With 3 kids laundry piles up quick. This was so easy I didn't even need my husband help. I don't have the same model but was able to follow the same concept and yess it is working again! Thank you Thank you thank you 😊
Great video! This helped me today in diagnosing an overfilling washer for a client! Have been repairing appliances for quite a while now, but this symptom was new to me. As it turned out, air hose was indeed clogged with a bunch of gunk. Cleaning and flushing it thoroughly resolved the issue! Thanks much, Sam!
Just like everyone before me said! saved me $200 and a trip to the laundromat. My hose had a hole in the middle of it. Do you know where I can get another one? I searched online and I don't want to pay $60 for a hose...
Wait so when you blow into the tube you should here a a couple of clicks?? Cause I just here one! Does that mean I should replace the pressure valve?? Help me please!
Thank you! I do miss washers with non-digital controls, that could accommodate non-city water!
Excellent way to teach. I really love it. Will try someone else Kenmore Washer. Water coming out all over the floor before the wash. thanks.
Great info but don't need to see water run
Thank you those was plugged just like you said. I used a metal coat hanger to clear it. Saved my buying a new washer.
Thank you. 5 hours of my Sunday for a $3 piece of hose.
Right-on! The hose had come off and was clogged! Thx.
Excellent! To the point, great voice and visuals and thank you for no awful background music. One of the best, if not the best troubleshooting videos I have yet to watch. Thank you so much- going to troubleshoot now.
You saved my grandma’s washer!!! Thank you.
my washing machine, the pressure tube doesn't have a pinhole leak, was perfectly clear of debris, and the pressure switch seems okay. Is it possible to overflow a WM with just "too many clothes" combined with XL water setting?
Thank you Sam!!
This saved me time and money because this was exactly why my mothers washer over filled.
It took me less than 5 minutes to fix, thanks to your video!!! Awesome!!
(unfortunately, it took much longer to dry up everything, lol)
Great video! Clear and concise... But mine wasn’t the switch nor the hose... As I blew in mine and it clicked... There is however a large hose inside the case that spills water... It’s like a overflow hose that lets water out at the bottom onto the floor... What’s up with that? Thanks...
It worked!!!! I did exactly as you demonstrated and it works perfectly now. Thanks!!!!
Thanks heaps for this informative video! Saved me some bucks.
Nice bro, thanks, saved me...
I love UA-cam! saved me from calling my friend "MacGyver" to help me... I would wipe off the debris from the washer lid... that would bother me ...( awesome video!)
Thank you for this vid. I have a smaller unit and has similar parts. It ended up the hose was disconnected due to wear and looks like the clamp needs replacement. 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. Thanks again.
This is awesome!. Big time thank you. The cool part is that my washing machine is exactly the same 100%. I just sub to you and click on like button. God bless you.
Thank you for taking the time to help others. Good video.
Worked perfectly for me. I trimmed the ends of the hose and washer is working perfectly. Great step by step video, easy to follow Thanks!
Thank you so much, liked and subscribed😊
Excellent DIY video, and I have almost the exact machine so super helpful - many thanks!
thank you for your time and knowledge great to know if it ever happens i watch all your ac video
Thx for help. Fixed my 1st washer. :)
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.
That being said, this video is amazing!
Thank you so much!
What if it does have pressure ? What’s would be the problem?
@@peterolguin5086 something is obstructing the flow.
Well there’s water in there so when I blow into it I see the bubbles is it supposed to drain by itself because it’s not draining
@@peterolguin5086 there should be no water in the pressure switch or the pressure tube.
@@peterolguin5086I’m sure you’ve fixed the issue by now but for other folks just seeing this, try putting the washer on the spin cycle to drain the water out before you begin troubleshooting and fixing it.
Woohoo! After overflowing and flooding my laundry room I was able to make this repair in about ten minutes for no cost. I bet appliances service guys really hate you for helping us save some money.
Thank you very much we have fixed our washer with this video
Just got a used Whirlpool 90 series and I just changed out the water control valves bc it was dripping cold water into the tub. Now I have a flood. The pressure hose is very short and I may have crimped it. I hope that's what it is. Thank you so much for this video!
Good repair vid! I will check mine. I think i would have replaced the pressure tube, as well as clean the water fill spout! Thanks
Worked for me. Thank you for posting.
Thank you buddy just save my life
thank you sir, cut the end of the hose off and worked like a charm.
Had a a similar problem here. Instead of the tube having sediment or expanded, it came off! My washer is different so i had a harder time finding out how to remove the frame but found out nonetheless. You have my gratitude.
thank you very helpful video
Great video. Clear, concise and to the point! Well Done.
LORD bless Sam.
Thank you! This was happening I seen this video and was able to fix mine in under 2 hrs
Thanks for the simplicity explanation on how to tackle this type of situation. Sunday morning wash, water all over the floor.
On the off chance anyone will read this, know the answer and respond…here goes: my Kenmore elite washer (1999 direct drive) is working fine save for one HUGE issue. At the tail end of every wash cycle, when the time gets to the last number of minutes (I.e. right before drain and rinse cycle), the washer suddenly starts filling with water, and overflows unfortunately (sheetrock, baseboard repairs, damaged cabinetry…what a disaster). I do not want to give up this beloved machine and know there MUST be a fix for this somewhere. Tubing and pressure switch are fine. Machine fills to proper levels at exact same place every load. It is ONLY overfilling at this same point every cycle. We have been unable to find an answer on internet yet. SOS! Help? Ideas? Advice? Many thanks!
Thank you!!! The hose had fallen off
Great to know, thank you!!
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)
Thank you very much. Problem solved.
Very Helpful ✊
Thank you for sharing this! We fixed this exact problem on our washer today. Much easier than expected...just some gunk in the air hose.
These were excellent machines. I just replaced my Amana NTW4516FW with an older 24" Estate (Whirlpool) direct drive a couple of weeks ago. Keep these running for as long as possible.
You are exactly right....All my neighbors who have expensive newer appliances complain about "failing motherboards", etc. that either cannot be repaired at all or literally cost thousands to fix ......but hey they look nice.....
Thanks for adding the tip about putting the washer in drain mode, hahaha. I used two old yogurt cups to remove some of the water but now I’ll try your common sense tip, hahaha.
Thank you Sam very cool!
Thanks. I see our 4 year old LG washer, there is a hole in the hose to the pressure valve. I see that LG has tried to correct their poor design by placing foam around the hose, which did not avoid the problem.
I did this but I think it has something to do with my Small/Medium/Extra large load size because water stops but in extra large it sometimes does not stop.
Dude at like 3:24 ish a orb of light appears. Watch the right side of the screen
ATOM you play destiny bro? Orb of light?????
I saw it at first looked like fuzz.
Overflow can fix by changing inlet valve or cleaning of that pipe please guide me how can differentiat both procedures.
Great troubleshooting tips and helped me fix the issue!
