Abstract

A washing machine appliance includes a wash tub positioned within a cabinet and defining a wash chamber and a sump, a wash basket rotatably mounted within the wash tub for receiving a load of clothes, a dispensing assembly mounted within the cabinet for selectively adding wash fluid into the wash tub, and a pressure sensing assembly in fluid communication with a sump of the wash tub. The pressure sensing assembly comprises a sensor housing mounted to the wash tub, the sensor housing defining a fluid inlet in fluid communication with the sump, an air chamber in fluid communication with the fluid inlet, and a sensing chamber in fluid communication with the air chamber, and a pressure sensor mounted within the sensing chamber for detecting an air pressure of the air chamber.
