Maytag Dishwasher Valve

This overfill control float assembly sits in the dishwasher tub and rises with the water level. It works with the float switch to shut off the inlet valve, helping prevent overfilling and potential leaks.

• Rises with the water level to engage the float switch and stop water flow
• Helps protect against tub overfill and floor leaks during the fill cycle
• Replace if the float is missing, warped, stuck, or doesn't move freely
• Symptoms can include continuous filling/overfilling, water spilling from the door, or no fill if the float is stuck in the up position

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Remove the lower rack; lift the old float straight up from the tub opening
• Clear any debris from the float well so the new float moves freely
• After reassembly, start a fill to ensure the float rises and water shuts off

This dishwasher overfill control float mounts in the tub floor and rises with the water level to trip the float switch and stop filling. Replacing a warped or stuck float restores proper fill control and helps prevent leaks. What it does:

• Monitors tub water level and actuates the float switch to shut off the inlet valve
• Helps prevent overfilling and water leaking from the door
• Common symptoms of a faulty float include no fill, continuous filling/overfilling, or inconsistent water level

• Float and retainer

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Remove the lower rack; lift out the old float
• Access beneath the tub may be required to release/install the retainer
• Ensure the float stem engages the switch lever and moves freely; test-fill and check for leaks
