Product Description

This complete float switch kit is designed to regulate water levels in your dishwasher by activating the shutoff mechanism once the water reaches a specific height. The kit includes a switch, lever, seal, and standpipe, all engineered for a precise fit and reliable performance. When the float rises with the water level, it engages the lever, which in turn activates the switch to close the water fill valve. This prevents overfilling and helps maintain safe operation. Ideal for resolving issues such as improper filling, leaks, or failure to start, this kit offers a straightforward installation process for compatible models.

Water leak near right front leg.
Watched 3 youtube videos. Removed front door panel (see video). Popped open the float switch assembly (see new assembly to find the 2 pop open points). Disconnect the two electrical connections (breaker already turned off) and pull out the switch. Disengage the connecting rod so that the float cap (on right front bottom of dishwasher interior) can be lifted out. Remove the large white nylon nut from the location vacated by the float cap. The float switch assembly now drops out. Install new float switch assembly, placing black rubber gaskets on the threaded portion of the assembly, one prior to insertion and one after insertion into dishwasher bottom. Return nut to secure and tighten. Reverse earlier steps of the disassembly. When done, make sure when lifting float cap that you can hear the switch click. If it doesn't click, you did something wrong .
