Whirlpool Float Switch WPW10195039 OEM Part

Whirlpool is responsible for producing several well-known brands, including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Furthermore, Whirlpool manufactures products for both Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. Among these products is the Float Switch, an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component specifically designed for Whirlpool dishwashers. Located at the base of the dishwasher's tub, its primary function is to regulate water entry. It achieves this by shutting off the water fill valve if the water level rises excessively before the completion of the fill cycle.

To ensure the float switch is operational, you can check for continuity; a properly functioning switch will exhibit a closed circuit. The float switch is generally replaced if the dishwasher experiences water overflow. It is crucial to diagnose the root cause of the issue prior to replacing the float switch.
