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.
Pro Tip
A float-switch symptom does not prove that the switch itself is defective: an inlet valve that mechanically fails open can also cause continued filling, while a stuck or obstructed float can cause a no-fill condition.

Primary FunctionMonitors dishwasher water level through the float mechanism and opens the fill-control circuit if the water level rises too high, helping prevent overfilling.
Installation Notes
- Disconnect electrical power before servicing and shut off the water supply if the installation procedure requires access to water connections.
- Use the appliance’s model-specific service literature for access and terminal identification; compatible dishwasher layouts can differ.
- Before fitting the replacement, confirm that the float itself moves freely and that the connector and harness are undamaged.
- Transfer or reconnect the wiring only to the matching connector and verify that the float moves freely after installation.
- Reassemble removed panels and restore power only after the switch and harness are secured; run the model-specific diagnostic or operating check to verify the repair.
