Possible Causes
Blocked pressure hose, faulty pressure switch, control board miscalibration, air leak in pressure system
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer and turn off water supply.
Step-by-step checks:
- 1. Inspect pressure hose: Remove the top panel and locate the small hose from the tub to the pressure switch. Check for splits, disconnections, or soap buildup. Clean or replace as needed.
- 2. Check for air leaks: Ensure the hose is tightly fitted at both ends and not rubbing against sharp edges.
- 3. Test pressure switch: Disconnect the switch and measure continuity across its terminals while gently blowing into the hose port. Contacts should change state as pressure increases.
- 4. Recalibrate (if model supports): Some Admiral models allow a water level calibration in diagnostic mode (refer to tech sheet). Run this procedure after repairs.
When to call a technician: If the pressure system is intact but F27 persists, the main control may need replacement.
