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
This part fixes the following symptoms
-
Will not drain
-
Won't start
-
Will not fill with water
