Description

This flood switch is a small water-sensing switch that alerts the appliance control when liquid collects where it shouldn't, helping stop leaks and prevent additional water damage. It's a direct-fit replacement used in compatible GE appliances. What it does:

• Detects presence of unwanted water and signals the appliance control or valve
• Can stop water flow or trigger an error when a leak or overflow occurs
• Commonly replaces a failed sensor that leaves water pooling in the appliance base
• Helps resolve symptoms such as water in the bottom pan, intermittent leak-related error codes, or continuous filling faults tied to a failed sensor

What's included:

• One flood switch (water sensor) as pictured

Install notes:

• Disconnect power (and water supply, if applicable) before installing
• Handle the sensor and connector carefully; avoid pushing the sensing surface into sharp objects
• Reconnect wiring/fasteners exactly as removed and secure any mounting clips to prevent false readings
• Test the appliance per OEM instructions after installation to ensure proper operation
