Customer Questions and Answers for Dishwasher Float (Water Level) by Whirlpool

This float controls your dishwasher's water level. As the tub fills, it rises to signal the float switch to shut off incoming water, helping prevent overfilling and leaks.

• Lifts with the water to actuate the float switch and stop filling
• Helps protect against overfilling and door leaks
• Replace if the float is cracked, deformed, waterlogged, or sticks in its well
• Symptoms can include: won't fill or stops filling early; overfilling or leaks at the door

Includes: 1 float Install notes:

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Remove the lower rack and locate the float in the tub floor
• Lift the old float straight up; clear any debris; seat the new float and free up-and-down movement
• Restore power and run a fill test to proper operation and check for leaks

Troubleshooting tip: If water enters the tub even with power off, the inlet valve is likely stuck open rather than a float issue.
