Ikea Valve

This overfill control float sits in the dishwasher tub and rises with the water level to signal the float switch to stop filling. Replacing a cracked or sticking float helps prevent leaks and recurring fill issues. What it does:

• Rises with the water level to actuate the float switch and stop the inlet valve
• Helps prevent overfilling and water leaking from the door
• A float stuck in the UP position can cause no fill or short fill
• A float stuck DOWN or damaged can allow overfilling

• 1 overfill control float

• Disconnect power and turn off water before servicing
• Remove the lower rack; lift out the old float from its guide and clear any debris in the well
• Insert the new float, ensuring it moves freely and reliably actuates the switch when raised

This float detects and monitors water levels in the appliance's sump/drain area to help prevent overfilling and water pooling. Replacing a damaged or stuck float restores proper water sensing and reduces leak risk. What it does:

• Senses water level in the drain pan or sump so the appliance can stop or redirect water flow
• Helps prevent water from overflowing or pooling under the appliance
• Can stop false fill/overfill conditions caused by a stuck or broken float
• Fault symptoms include water pooling, continuous or unexplained filling, or failure to drain properly

• Always unplug the appliance before accessing internal panels or service areas
• Remove the required access panels or trim to reach the sump/drain area; follow the model's service manual
• Handle the float and any clips or wiring carefully to avoid damage; reconnect any electrical connectors securely
• After installation, restore power and run a manual fill/drain test to verify proper operation

This water inlet valve assembly controls the flow of water from the home supply into the refrigerator. Replacing a faulty valve restores proper water delivery to the ice maker and/or dispenser for consistent ice production and dispensing.

• Opens and closes to send water to the ice maker and/or dispenser as commanded by the refrigerator
• Common symptoms: no water from dispenser, no ice production, slow/weak dispenser flow
• May also present as continuous dripping into the ice maker/dispenser or leaks around the valve body
• If water lines and filter are clear but filling is inconsistent or absent, the valve may be at fault

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Place a towel or shallow pan to catch residual water; note line and wire locations for reassembly
• Ensure tubing is fully seated in fittings; avoid overtightening plastic connections
• Restore water and power, then check all joints for leaks and run the dispenser to purge air/debris
