Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Dishwasher will not fill or fills insufficiently
• Dishwasher may overfill if the switch fails to interrupt the fill circuit
• Float-switch or water-level fault indication on some compatible dishwasher controls
• Dishwasher may stop filling when the float is raised manually

Check Before Replacing

• Disconnect electrical power before accessing or testing the switch.
• Visually inspect that the dishwasher float moves freely and is not obstructed by debris, detergent residue, or a displaced component.
• Inspect the switch connector and wiring for looseness, corrosion, damaged terminals, or chewed insulation.
• With power disconnected, test switch continuity only if the appliance’s model-specific technical sheet identifies the correct terminals and expected readings; the switch should change state as the float moves between its normal and raised positions.
• Do not condemn the float switch solely from a no-fill or overflow symptom; also check the water inlet valve, wiring, control, drain connection, and water supply as applicable.
