Whirlpool WP8268909 Dishwasher Float Switch
Product Description
The Whirlpool WP8268909 Dishwasher Float Switch is a safety feature included with Whirlpool, KitchenAid, and select Kenmore dishwashers. It keeps a careful eye on the water level in the dishwasher's tub, protecting against overflowing. The actual float switch is usually a plastic or polystyrene buoyant part that is placed thoughtfully near the dishwasher's base. During a wash cycle, the water level rises in the tub, finally lifting the float switch. The dishwasher's water supply is cut off when the water level reaches a set point thanks to a switch mechanism in the float. By taking this crucial step, you can stop the dishwasher from overflowing and possibly leaking water into your kitchen.
