WM Water Sensor DC 6V

Description

The Mechanical Multi-Position Water Level Switch is a universal spare part designed for semi-automatic and older fully-automatic top-loading washing machines. It features a rotatable plastic gear shaft on top, allowing users or the machine’s mechanical timer assembly to physically dial in and adjust the desired water level capacity (such as Low, Medium, High, or up to 6 distinct positional increments). Instead of sending a digital signal to a computer board, this switch acts as a physical gatekeeper for electricity. As air pressure builds up through the pressure tube, it pushes an internal rubber diaphragm. Once the pressure reaches the mechanically selected threshold, it triggers a physical “click” that snaps the internal metal contacts open or shut, instantly cutting off power to the water inlet valve. Key Features Type: Mechanical / Manual Pressure Switch Terminals: Typically features a 2-pin or 3-pin male spade connector setup (2 Pin / Kaki). Adjustment Mechanism: Multi-step rotating gear shaft for manual calibration. Durability: Heavy-duty internal spring and thick plastic housing designed to handle standard mains AC voltage safely. Compatible Brands & Machine Types Because this part is built to a highly standardized universal format, it is widely compatible across a massive range of regional and global appliance brands—especially those utilizing top-loading, single-tub automatic, or twin-tub semi-automatic designs. 1. Brand Compatibility Sharp: Highly compatible with Sharp Top-Load Otomatis Series (such as the ES-F series and smaller capacity mechanical top-loaders). Sanken: A standard replacement part for Sanken single-tub automatic machines that rely on manual dial adjustments. Aqua / Sanyo: Fits older Sanyo and newer Aqua top-loading models using 2-pin manual pressure regulators. Polytron: Frequently used across Polytron’s manual or basic automatic washer portfolio. Panasonic & Toshiba: Compatible with select older-generation legacy top-loaders that use physical mechanical contact points rather than digital computer chips. 2. Machine Type Identification This switch is compatible with your machine if it meets the following criteria: Top-Loading Only: Used exclusively in top-loading platforms (not front-load drum washers). Physical Connections: Your old part uses slide-on spade metal terminals (2 or 3 pins) rather than a clip-on plastic computer wiring harness. Mechanical Control: The washer features a physical dial or internal gear system that alters the water level selection rather than electronic push-buttons.
