By: Ge
Part Number: OEM6117417
Manufacturer Part Number: WD12X335

This float stem is part of the dishwasher's water-level/overfill system. It guides the tub float and actuates the float switch so the unit fills correctly and shuts off on time. Replace a worn or broken stem to restore reliable fill protection.

  • Connects the float to the switch mechanism beneath the tub
  • Provides smooth vertical travel of the float through the opening
  • Triggers the float switch to stop filling at the proper level
  • Causes symptoms such as no fill, continuous filling/overfilling, a stuck or wobbly float, or intermittent fill issues
What's included: 1 float stem Install notes:
  • Disconnect power at the breaker and shut off the water supply before servicing
  • Remove the lower rack; lift off the float cap from inside the tub
  • On some models, release the retainer/clip from beneath the tub; pull out the old stem
  • Guide the new stem through the opening and ensure it engages the float switch lever; confirm the float moves freely and actuates the switch before restoring power

If you place the timer at the start of a drain cycle, you should hear the solenoid "snap" down and open the pump drain flapper so the dishwasher drains.
