Description

A replacement float switch that detects excess water in the refrigerator drain pan and signals the system to run or shut off components to prevent overflow. Restores proper water-level sensing to help stop leaks and shutdown faults. What it does:

• Senses water level in the drain/collection pan and closes or opens the circuit as levels change
• Helps stop water overflow or pooling under the appliance when the defrost drain or pan fills
• Can trigger fans or pumps or signal control boards depending on model wiring
• Common symptom: water under or around the fridge, or error/faults related to drain/pan sensing

What's included:

• One float switch

Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Handle connectors and wires gently; note wiring positions before removal
• Mount the switch in the drain/collection pan area so the float moves freely
• Test continuity with a multimeter after installation to confirm function
