Flood Switch WD21X10519

The flood switch in your dishwasher controls the amount of hot and cold water that enters the appliance, ensuring the proper quantity of water to run the cycle. If your dishwasher is over or under filling with water, there may be an issue with the flood switch. This part is a genuine OEM replacement part designed to work with your dishwasher. Before beginning this repair, please be sure to disconnect the power supply to the dishwasher. You should not need to pull the appliance out from underneath the cabinets, but you will need to remove a number of parts from the bottom of the dishwasher to replace the flood switch. These parts include the lower rack, the wash arm, the fine filter and coarse filters, the filter adaptor, and the bracket that holds the switch in place. When removing the old switch, be sure that the o-ring has come out as well, so that the o-ring on the new switch is able to make a tight seal.
