I tried repairing the original water level switch to my 1963 RCA Whirlpool Imperial Mark XII washer and unfortunately the original water level switch no longer works, I have since installed a water level switch I had in my small parts stash that’s from a 80’s Maytag and that water level switch works but the issue I am having with it is it doesn’t want to do the partial drain on the super wash cycle and spent many hours trying to adjust it. Will a water level switch from a 80’s belt drive washer work or not? Or does it have to be one similar to the original water level switch that came in the machine?

The water level switch I have is a infinite water level control. Funny thing is it worked earlier on the super wash cycle then dec to start acting up when I went to go do a small load of laundry in it this evening.

FSP/Whirlpool/Kenmore water level switches
What's the PN on the original switch? If it's on this list, most of the alternate switches can be found.

I looked up water level switch P/N 357964 and there’s one available on eBay. I might end up getting that one and mounting it to the original water level switch bracket and I have done that before on my Kenmore portable washer and that water level switch should fit. All the other ones I looked up are not available on eBay at the moment.

Since everything’s fixed now, I put my Whirlpool Imperial Mark XII set into service :)

Thanks! Silly question but does your Whirlpool dryer that’s paired up with your Whirlpool Imperial washer have the auto dry or not? John mentioned there was a Whirlpool Imperial Mark XII dryer in 1963 but the one turquoise Whirlpool Imperial Mark XII set that’s in Who’s Minding The Store looks like it doesn’t have the auto dry on it and the same set as mine.
