    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the purpose of a low pressure sensor in a washing machine?

    A low pressure sensor enables safe and efficient washing machine operation by monitoring the water level in the washing machine drum.

    How does a low pressure sensor work in a washing machine?

    The pressure sensor is connected to the drum of the washing machine by a hose which enables it to detect changes in pressure based on the water level in the washing machine drum. The sensor converts these pressure readings into a digital signal which is sent to the control board and used to regulate the water level throughout the wash cycle.

    What other appliances use low pressure sensors?

    Dishwashers are another common application for low pressure sensors. In fact, low pressure sensors can be used in any appliance where precise water level monitoring is critical—provided the sensor range and size are compatible.

    What is the operating range for Marquardt’s Gen 3 Low Pressure Sensor?

    Our Low Pressure Sensor pressure range is from 0 to 3000 PA—a considerably wider operating range than other sensors—due to its larger membrane and other improvements. For more detailed information, please refer to the Gen 3 Low Pressure Sensor data sheet
