Yes, it shuts off. If I pull of the molex multiwire connector on top of the water level switch while it is filling, the fill valves also shut off. If it is set to small, it fills up to the small level and stops filling and will start agitating like normal. If it is set to med or large and the water level rises past the "small" fill tub level, and the "small" level is now selected, the unit doesn't stop, just keeps filling to overflow, as it will if you just leave it set on med or large.. I was told since I have just replaced the water level switch hose with a new one(in case there was a undetectable pinhole) that the only remaining possibly faulty component is the control board itself. I hope not the membrane keypad too. The unit is about 15 years old. I have heard these control boards have a history. I don't know of a reliable stackable to purchase new.
Well the way to test that theory is to take the tube off the level switch.When the tub gets about 3/4 full blow into the switch and see if it stops filling.If it does stop filling you got a bad switch from the manufacturer.

Yes when you blow into it the water should stop right away.
Then you have a bad switch.
No i don't have those specs.You just proved it is not working the way it was designed to work.It is to strong it was set wrong at the factory.
Blowing into the diaphragm seems a litle bit more powerful than little 12 inch column of air. The old switch makes and breaks, I tried varying the setscrew setpoint with a full tub of compressed water column, didn't make either.
It is defective i have done that test a thousand times and it has never failed me.
You have proved it as for getting your money back you are not a tech so they may not refund your money all you can do is talk to them.
