The pressure switch location After you get the top off, the pressure switch is mounted to a cross brace in the top of the cabinet. You can see it hanging here directly in back of the timer dial.

If you start a heavy or "Normal" cycle on mine it tumbles during fill with the timer running. I haven't modified mine, it came that way from the factory. | ||

I modifed my Fridgemore and it gave a great wash. Now the computer board is not working. It fills but will not tumble. Considering that I bought the machine used for $200.00, it is not worth fixing and I will eventually replace it. Ross | ||

What will this do to the bearing? Aren't the bearings weak links in these machines? Bobby in Boston | ||

Bobby----- I believe you are correct. I have a '97 built machine that has proven tough as nails, but I haven't adjusted the water level up either. Still, its nice to know how to do it. | ||

I had mine for 10 years and adjusted the water level when I got it, no bearing problems, actually never a problem from the set, last year when I got the new ones I gave the old one to a niece and it still running, just wish the new ones are adjustable.... I also have come across ones with bad bearings from a factory set water level....go figure! | ||

martin, the hose should be very flexible and elastic. like those very flexible yellow or blue rubber hoses (i don't know how they are called in English) used when a nurse needs to give an IV injection. The idea is to make the hose expand to the sides before the pressure switch detect the pressure. | ||

I might have something out in the garage, I have a lot of hooses on spools, maybe like hoses used for windshield washer fluid....My first attempt was using air line hose from an aquarium, but you may be right witha rubber hose that would expand a little easier......give me a few days to try out a few things and I'll get back to you on the results..... this may actually work! | ||

1 inch won't kill your machine, but 2 inches will. The problem is when a top loader lover has to have a front loader and then adjust the water lever to almost reach the ceiling of the laundry room. | ||
