Caution:
Please read our safety
information before attempting any testing or repairs.
Before replacing the float switch,
unplug the dishwasher or shut off the power at the fuse
box or breaker
panel to avoid an electrical shock hazard.
To access the float switch remove
the front panel located beneath the door. The panel is usually
held in place with two screws either above or below the panel.
It may be necessary to first open the door to the dishwasher
to reach the screws over the panel, then close the door to
remove the panel.
Note the location of the float
in the dishwasher's tub and you will find the float switch
beneath it in the access area. The switch has two wires connected
to it. Label the wires and connections so that you can properly
reconnect them later. The wires are connected with slip on
connectors. Firmly pull the connectors off of the terminals
(do not pull on the wire itself). You may need to use a pair
of needle-nose pliers to remove the connectors. Inspect the
connectors and the terminals for corrosion. If either is corroded
they should be cleaned or replaced.
The float switch is attached
by one or two small screws or a clip. The switch is also connected
the the float assembly in the dishwasher's tub. Remove the
screws or clip and carefully disconnect the switch from the
float assembly.
Connect the new switch to the
float assembly, fasten the switch in place with the screws
or clip, reconnect the wires, replace the access panel and
restore the electricity.
