WPW10195039 Whirlpool Dishwasher Overfill Control Switch

Dishwasher Overfill Control Switch

Whirlpool manufactures various brands, including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool produces items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The Float Switch is an OEM part designed for Whirlpool dishwashers. Positioned at the bottom of the dishwasher's tub, its main role is to manage water flow into the dishwasher. It does this by turning off the water fill valve if the water level gets too high before the fill cycle ends.

You can test the float switch for continuity, which should show a closed circuit when functioning correctly. Typically, the float switch is replaced when the dishwasher overfills with water. It is important to identify the underlying issue before replacing the float switch.
