1 Answer Marcus, For this machine to start the door switch has to have continuity in a closed state for power to get to the timer. There are two on this unit and one switch carrys voltage and the other switch is the neutral side. Check your home power supply at the junction behind the kick panel first to make sure there are not any burned out wires or loose connections. Also advance the timer to other sections in a cycle to see if it washes or drains.Make sure the float switch is not stuck in the up position inside the unit not allowing a fill. I would first inspect the door switches in this scenario. Read More...
Jimmy - Nyc June 17, 2019 for Model Number GE Dishwasher DWUT500AAX Hello My dishwasher runs a cycle normal, but when it comes draining a small amount of water remains at the bottom. do I replace the water level control switch or is it something else? thank you very much, Jimmy
1 Answer Hello Jimmy, check if there is any blockage in the drain hose or where it is connected to the house drain plumbing, If ok you may need to access the drain pump/impeller inlet and check for blockage. Read More...
Richard October 28, 2014 for Model Number MDB6650AWW My dishwasher doesn't seem to be getting any water. If I fill it with water it will work properly and run through all the cycles. I checked the water supply to the dishwasher to make sure it was on and there were no blockages. I also replace the water inlet valve and that did not fix the problem. The float is working properly and I can feel it move freely and I can hear the switch click. I haven't looked at the water level control switch yet. Could that be the problem? Please advise. Thanks, Rich
1 Answer Hello Richard. Test and see if there is power coming to the water valve on the unit. If there is power there, and your getting no water, you will need to order and replace the water valve on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Ronda July 31, 2013 for Model Number DWU9902AAB Sometimes it will let water in and sometimes it dont. What switch would that be or could it be something else? Otherwise it works just great.
1 Answer Hello Ronda. Check and make sure the float moves freely up and down. Check the float switch WP99002560. If good, replace the water valve. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Joe November 18, 2012 for Model Number MDB9150AWB Dishwasher ran over. Is it the float or is it the water level switch?
1 Answer Hello Joe. If you can stop the water from entering the machine by turning off the power, you will need to look for a bad float switch. If the only way to shut off the water is at the shut off, you will need to replace the water valve in the unit. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Mino. You need to remove the drain hose from the unit and check and see if it is clogged. If not, and the unit does not drain, you may need to replace the pump and motor assembly in the unit. Read More...
John H October 04, 2012 for Model Number dwu8860bab we have leaks around the bottom of the door. I have noticed that water gets deep inside and the leaks start. I watch the water level switch and the float doesn't seem to rise much and the switch is seldom activated. Does is sound like the float isn't working and if so how do I replace?
1 Answer John, The proper water level in the bottom of the tub should be determined by starting the dishwasher, allowing it to run three to five minutes, then unlatch the door, and remove the lower rack. If the water level is correct, the heater element should be partially, to fully submerged. If the water level is proper, you'll need to check the lower spray arm 6-903473, and the support seal rings 912313 for leaks and water mis direction along the bottom of the door. Read More...
James A. January 14, 2012 for Model Number MDB4160AWW Water in dishwasher gets above heating element and leaks out of float would it be water level switch ? How do you test it ? Thank you
1 Answer Hello James. Test and see if the switch WP99002560 reads correctly on a meter. NC to COM should read closed and NO to COM should read open. If the switch tests good, you will need to replace the water valve. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Phil M November 06, 2011 for Model Number mbd4100awq what holds the float itself in the dishwasher old one popped right out ---the new one pictured here does not show a clip or anything ,,,what stopps it from popping up and out like the orig. one?? where can i get the part i need --i found ap4390017 but no clip or any type of fastener ?
1 Answer Phil, There should be a nut WP911265 that you screw the shaft of the float stem WP99002363 through(three or four turns) to keep that from happenning. Hold the nut above the water level switch lever,with a pair of needle nose pliers, drop the float through the tub opening and turn the float 3 or 4 revolutions, make sure the stem does not get twisted or bent. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
