Bosch Float Switch 00165256 OEM Part

The 3 Terminal Float Switch serves as an authentic OEM replacement component specifically crafted for Bosch dishwashers, while also being compatible with specific models from Thermador, Gaggenau, and Kenmore. Situated within the sump section, this switch is vital for monitoring water levels and managing the automatic fill and drain functions.

Signs indicating a potential issue with the float switch may include:

- Residual water remaining after a cycle
- Disruptions or failures in starting or progressing cycles due to water level inconsistencies
- Leaks in areas near the sensor's installation
- Frequent loosening or detachment of the float switch from normal usage

A common cause of float switch malfunctions is the accumulation of minerals or sediment, which can compromise its buoyancy and detection capability. If the float switch fails, the dishwasher's ability to properly manage water levels is impacted, affecting its performance.

Replacing the malfunctioning float switch can address problems such as water overflow and difficulties in filling.
