Magic Chef Dishwasher DC5J Will not drain or doesn't drain

This dishwasher drain lifter helps move water through your dishwasher's drainage system during the wash and rinse cycles. It ensures proper water circulation and prevents standing water from remaining in the bottom of the tub. Replace when you notice water pooling in your dishwasher after cycles complete or poor drainage performance.

This water level switch senses the dishwasher's tub float and controls the water inlet. Replacing a worn switch restores correct filling, helping prevent overfilling or dry cycles that can reduce cleaning performance. What it does:

• Monitors the float position to open/close the fill circuit at the proper water level
• Common symptoms: dishwasher won't fill or stops filling too soon
• May also cause continuous filling/overfill if contacts are stuck closed
• Intermittent operation can leave the tub underfilled and washing performance poor

What's included:

• 1 water level (float) switch

Install notes:

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Remove the toe/kick panel to access the switch near the float assembly under the tub
• Note wire positions; transfer connectors one at a time and secure the switch in its bracket
• The float moves freely and actuates the switch before reassembly and testing
