Corrupted Water Level Switch

A water level switch is a mechanical device used to detect the presence of water in a tank. It consists of two parts: a float and a lever. The float is attached to the lever and moves up and down depending on how much water is present in the tank. When the water reaches a certain height, the float touches the lever and closes a circuit. This action triggers the motor that turns on the washing machine. A water level switch is a mechanism that detects the presence of water in the tank.
