My duet seems to be not filling the way it use to for rinsing particularly on the white cycle. I was thinking maybe it needs a new water pressure switch, any suggestions would be appreciated.
Tks

Ever cleaned the inlet filters?

Inlet Filters

A redundant point, as a washer will fill until the Pressure Switch is satisfied. Some might complain of "No Water" though, but that doesn't seem to be happening here. 

 

You may find the adjustment for the switch has gone bad over time (if there is one), the switch is going bad (or the hosing to it) or your computer module might not be getting the correct readings from the switch. 

 

Has the machine produced any error codes? Are other cycles still filling to the levels they always have?

Not all machines have the same behaviour, as an example the Whirlpool I have home fills to the minimum fill level and then tops up as needed in the wash.
The rinses are timed fill over the pre-set level but the allowed filling time is limited and if there isn't enough water pressure they will simply stop filling and keep on going for the rest of the cycle because there is at least the minimum satisfied.
Nevertheless rinse performance will be even poorer than the usual.

No error codes

However the machine will not fill in the first rinse if the extra rinse option is on in the white cycle so I have to take it off as it is pre programmed.
Up until a few weeks ago it was fine but I did have trouble using the persil and I may have found the culprit. It doesn't seem to be rinsing good periodically in other cycles, but I thought I had the white cycle problem solved by taking off the extra pre-programmed rinse, so it may be the pressure switch and or something worse altogether?
This isn't the first time I had this problem and it may not have been entirely the detergent either as I was blaming.
