This float dome positions and protects the float inside the tub so the appliance can sense water level correctly. Replacing a cracked or missing float dome helps restore reliable fill control and reduces overfill or erratic fill symptoms. What it does

• Houses and guides the float so the fill sensor detects water level accurately.
• Prevents the float from sticking or catching on the tub, which can cause overfilling.
• Helps stop intermittent or continuous fill problems caused by a broken or displaced float.
• Keeps debris away from the float area to reduce false water-level readings.

• Disconnect power and water supply before accessing the tub or removing panels.
• Remove the lower access panel or kickplate to reach the float area; handle plastic parts gently to avoid cracking.
• Inspect surrounding seals and the float itself; replace any damaged components for reliable operation.
• After installation, restore power and run a short fill/drain cycle to verify correct float movement and water-level control.

Valve flapper for the washer's dual-pump drain assembly that directs water between pumps for proper draining. Replacing a worn or torn flapper helps restore drain operation and reduce leaks or poor drain performance. What it does:

• Directs water flow between the washer's dual drain pumps to ensure proper draining.
• Commonly linked to symptoms such as slow or incomplete draining, water remaining in the tub, or intermittent leaks.
• Replaces a cracked, torn, or hardened flapper that no longer seals or diverts flow correctly.

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before beginning any repair.
