Whirlpool LSR7233EQ0 not filling but agitating on rinse

[bsn321]

Hi folks -

We have a LSR7233EQ0 that recently has trouble filling on rinse, but still starts agitating at some point during the rinse cycle.  Thinking fill valves which seems like easy replace, but just realizing/wondering why it's still agitating even when no water in there??  might this also/instead have something to do with fill-level pressure switch?

Any insight greatly appreciated!

It could either be the pressure switch or a clogged air hose.  Try disconnecting the hose at the switch and blow through it.  If it's clogged it will be very hard to blow through. 


It could also be a timer/control board issue.

Thanks so much.  Yes I will check the pressure switch and the hose.  I'm assuming that if I can activate the switch by blowing into the hose, all is well.  But I will also check the hose for integrity blowing underwater, etc.

In the meantime, how can I tell if the timer/control board is operating properly?

by way of diagnosis:  I can also report that sometimes when the tub is not filling, if I turn the timer knob in/off, then on again, it starts working.  So maybe you're onto something there...

Thanks!
