Description

A replacement float that senses water level in the appliance tub or sump and helps prevent overfilling. Replacing a worn or stuck float restores proper fill/drain operation and can reduce leaks or continuous-fill issues. What it does:

• Senses water level and actuates the appliance's fill/drain control to maintain proper water height.
• Helps prevent overfilling or overflow by moving freely and tripping the associated switch or mechanism.
• A faulty or stuck float can cause continuous filling, overflowing, or improper cycle behavior; replacing it often addresses those symptoms.
• Works as a direct mechanical indicator—no electrical specifications claimed.

What's included: One float. Install notes:

• Always disconnect power and shut off the water supply before beginning service.
• Access the float through the appliance service panel or sump area; avoid forcing connectors or linkages.
• Ensure the float moves freely and is seated correctly before reassembling panels; run a short test cycle to confirm proper operation.
