Mend Whirlpool WMA54P Washing Machine Leak Motor

wma54p leaking problems?

Can anyone please help me?
Our Wma54P is leaking badly. Firstly it started off with the drum just sticking all of a sudden during a cycle. I replaced the motor carbon bushes. Then we had problems with the rubber door seal (I noticed small hole) which I also replaced. Now for some reason when I put it on 'rinse & spin'. It fills washing machine up to the point of spilling out through door and despense drawer! I have taken all the hoses off (filter and small pipe from pressure switch) and cleaned them totally up with no obstructions there is no obstruction with pump or filter either. I've been told the Pressure switch itself could be the problem now or the Drain pump. Can anyone advise me if they might know of anything else it could be? The Pressure switch & drain pump were fine before all this trouble with the motor. Can they just go wrong like that????

Hi JJ,
Can you tell me how exactly I wire up my pressure switch?
Will this work if I get wires round wrong way still?
They have one loom of black wire. That goes on only i one place, but the other two are purple & green, and purple & brown. Both are single wires. One has black plastic clip on, and the other just has normal metal connector.

I've ordered new pressure switch you see, and im not sure if the broken one on there is correctly fitted?

Please can anyone help? :(

pressure switch is part mechanical and part electrical.some you can adjust others are fixed.if yours got a screw on the side you can try and adjust it but mostly its a matter of replacing
