Description

This overfill control switch (float switch) senses water level and helps stop the fill valve to prevent overfilling. It replaces a worn or failed water-level safety switch to restore proper fill control and reduce overflow risk. What it does:

• Detects high water level and signals the washer control to stop filling
• Helps prevent water overflow and unintended flooding when working correctly
• Commonly linked to symptoms like continuous filling, overfilling, or washer not advancing cycles
• Interfaces with the washer control board and fill valve to maintain proper water level

What's included:

• One overfill control switch (float switch)

Install notes:

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before starting any repair
• Handle connectors gently; confirm wiring positions or take a photo before disconnecting
• Verify proper operation after installation by running a short fill cycle and checking for correct shutoff
