Angie for Model Number 6651674193 My dishwasher is leaking from the hole at the bottom of the tub where the bottom point of the float assembly stem comes through the floor of the tub to activate the float switch. The Sears website shows p/n WP3376397 with no black washer over the float stem. Your website shows a black washer over the float stem. Another customer asked about purchasing the black washer only. The old float I removed from the dishwasher did not have a black washer on it. Does the washer serve some purpose to prevent leaks from the bottom of the tub through the float hole? Could there have been a black washer on my float from the factory, and may it have deteriorated over the years and be at the bottom of the tube that the float assembly fits into? There seems to be something down at the bottom of the float tube but as the dishwasher is installed in a corner of the cabinet, I am unable to approach from the right in order to get a better look down the tube. Everyone with the same problem seems to be getting the same answer about soap suds causing the water level to be too high, but I've been using the same soap for years and my washer only recently began leaking through the float hole at the bottom of the tub. Thank you.
Answer Angie, You may want to check the water level in the dishwasher and make sure that it is not filling too high. This could also cause the issue. The water should be just below the heater. Also try running a cycle with nothing in it to kind of clean any soap residue that may be in the unit. It does appear that there should be a seal for the float and if you do not see it then it would most likely be gone and need a new one in which you would need to replace the float for this.
