VWSR4100V0AA Hotpoint Washer - Instructions

Remove the timer control knob, remove the top 4 screws of the control panel, pull the control panel forward, unscrew the ground screw, unscrew the screw holding the timer to the control panel and then do the reverse to install the new one. Easy peasy.

I work in hvac, I more or less understand the older electro mechanical non electronic machines so I gave diagnosis a stab. I already knew that the water level switch could cause problems. I noted that the hot and cold water fill valve solenoids DID shut off tightly. While testing, I tried blowing and sucking on switch hose port and listened for a clear click; no click. At this point you replace the switch just to be sure. I blew out on outlet side of vinyl tubing going into water in tub. Used model and serial number to locate part on website. I physically removed water level switch (you twist it off by gently prying under a tab and turning 90 degrees) or else remove switch with short mini philips. I very carefully compared the removed switch visually to the very good multiple multi position photos on website. That showed me that the switches looked the same. So when I orderred the part I was 98% sure it was right. The part arrived and was correct. I installed it in 5 minutes, tested it with different levels. Machine repaired! Recorded part number in computer notes.

your store carried the proper part at a great price, our local hardware store's don't carry this part. We always have great luck with your site. Put knob on in under one minute. washer works perfectly! thanks Parts select!
