By: Ge
Part Number: OEM6117414
Manufacturer Part Number: WD12X334

This dishwasher float rises with the water level to engage the float switch. It regulates filling and helps prevent overflows, protecting your kitchen from leaks and keeping wash cycles running properly. What it does:

  • Rises with the tub's water level and actuates the float switch
  • Signals the inlet valve to stop water flow at the correct level
  • A stuck, worn, or broken float may cause overfilling or no-fill conditions
  • Symptoms can include leaking from overfill or no water entering during fill
What's included:
  • 1 float
Install notes:
  • Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing
  • Open the door; remove the lower rack for access
  • Lift off any float cap/retainer, pull the old float straight up, and seat the new float
  • Ensure the float moves freely; restore power/water and run a brief fill test

Answer

Lisa, If you can move the float up and down freely, and hear the water level switch "click" when manipulated, then you'll need to look for an issue in the water fill valve WD15X93 or the water supply line to the dishwasher. Most likely the debris screen is clogged with sediment, or the diaphram or valve seat is coated with chemicals and won't allow the water to enter at full force(7 to 8 gallons per minute). Thanks
