How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP3138166 / 8193506 Float Switch Kit

Removed front kick plate, found overflow valve assembly leaking . When parts arrived removed and replaced overflow valve. Took about 10 minutes 

Installed the new float switch and float. Everything was easy to do and no more leaking. 

We replaced a Float Switch Kit 

Very easy fix. Completed in less than 5 minutes. Not more leaking water. 

Swapped it out for a new one! Happy days... no leaks now. 

Using the float switch kit and the excellent how-to-video from APP, it was a quick and EZ repair. 

Replaced 5 worn parts, 1to go 

Replaced float switch with kit, seals and float. Repair would have been a breeze if Kitchenmaid, in it's infinite wisdom, had NOT sealed the front panel to the door insulation with epoxy! It took longer to separate the door panel from the door (in order to get to the float switch assembly) than to do the repair. Thanks Kitchenmaid!
