Customer Questions and Answers for Dishwasher Float Assembly by Whirlpool

Linda, the nut at the end of the float would need to be removed to allow the float to pass through the top. Once the float is placed into the float mount, the nut would then be re-installed onto the float. The nut will have two locking tabs that would need to be gently opened up to allow removal and then closed so that when re-installed, the tabs lock onto the float shaft.
