Customer Questions and Answers for Water Level Float by Whirlpool

4.89 (64)
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: OEM18050214
Manufacturer Part Number: WPW10195036

The Water Level Float is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It helps regulate the water level within the dishwasher by rising with the water level and signaling the control board to shut off the water inlet valve when the appropriate level is reached.

Causes of a bad water level float can include wear and tear, mineral buildup or debris obstructing its movement, or damage due to mishandling. Over time, these issues can prevent the float from moving freely or accurately signaling the water level.

Symptoms of a bad water level float include:

  • Dishwasher overfilling or underfilling
  • Water leaks during the wash cycle
  • The dishwasher not completing cycles correctly
  • Error codes related to water level issues

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Eric for Model Number KUDS30FXSS9

Recently, I noticed that the insulation part under the front right of my dishwasher was wet. After further investigation and what was a useless $70 call from a specialist, water seems to be leaking from my float, down the stem onto this insulation. This only occurs when soap is added to the machine. My dishwasher is used maybe once a week maximum. I checked the float and it seems like it is in perfect condition. The connection from the float into the control panel is perfect (when I lift the float up and down I can hear the clicking sound). The dishwasher is also level.

Answer

Hello Eric, This is most likely caused by a "wave" being generated by the water circulation. This is most often caused by one or more holes being stopped up. This basically causes more water to be expelled from the other holes and generates a pulsing effect in the water and can cause the water to splash from the air gap below the door. This can run down and look like water is leaking from another source.
