I need to replace the tubing attached to the water level control switch on my Hoover 205 top loader as it has worn and has cracks. I hear that this could contribute to my problem of the water not stopping when filling. Does anyone know the correct size of the tubing as I understand that it comes under pressure from a vacuum, and I want to get the right size from the hardware store?
As long as it fits on it will be ok ..pressure not to much
SOURCE: Unable to control water level
Some water may have got into the pressure switch. Remove the pressure switch and see if you can shake any water out. Make sure the cables go back on the correct terminals. make sure the tub is empty when you refit the pressure switch, so no water is allowed to enter the pressure tube
SOURCE: Water Level control
if the pressure switch hose is not obstructed, check to see what happens if you try to **** thriugh the hose like a drinking straw
if you can and the pressure switch is wired correctly replace the pressure switch again

AV,
Yup! I know what's going on (the tip off was when you said, "The water does stop when I push the timer off"). See? the timer, as I'm sure you know, supplies or "directs" power to each component in the washer... kinda like a conductor does an orchestra. When you push the timer knob to "Off", you shut down the symphony thereby removing power from all of the components. Make sense?
When you set the water level and pull the knob, the level switch tells the timer that the tub is empty and request water. The timer complies and sends power to the water valve. When the water level is "satisfied", the level switch tells the timer to remove power from the valve and start the "agitation" cycle.
Here's what's happening, the level switch isn't talking to the timer. I think the part number is 22002705, but I'm not sure because I don't have the full model number. Call you local appliance retailer and provide them with the full model number to be sure, OK? Since you already have the machine apart, it'll be easy to replace...
Oh yeah, here's a picture of it... see if this one matches the one on you machine. This might confirm the part number.
And another thing, now that you've experienced a washer flood (ain't it fun?), you might want to consider getting yourself one of these. They're super easy to install and it'll provide that extra bit of insurance against this happening to you again.
