Customer Questions and Answers for Flood Switch Seal (Dishwasher) by Ge

This dishwasher flood switch seal sits around the flood/leak switch to create a watertight barrier at the switch opening. Replacing a cracked or flattened seal helps stop under-unit drips and keeps leak detection working properly.

• Forms a watertight seal where the flood switch mounts
• Helps prevent water from entering the base pan
• Common signs include water under the unit or visible wear on the old seal

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Remove the toe-kick; pull the unit forward if needed to access the flood switch
• Release the flood switch, remove the old seal, and seat the new seal evenly—do not overtighten
• Reassemble and run a short fill/rinse while checking closely for leaks
