The float switch is a safety switch that in the event
an overfill, the switch opens the circuit to the water
valve relay mounted on the electronic control. The
float switch is located under the tub in the left front
corner. This switch is a normally open microswitch
that closes when the float inside the tub is in
place. The switch can be checked for continuity at
the electronic control and is checked for operation
by raising and lowering the float from inside tub.
To remove the float switch:
1. Remove unit from its installation position.
2. Remove lower rack assembly.
3. Remove kickplate and valve service cover.
4. Pull top section of float from float assembly.
5. Using a 15/16" socket or wrench, remove the
plastic retaining nut from the float switch
assembly. (See Figure 5-32)
6. From under the tub compartment, disconnect
the electrical leads from the float switch
terminals.
7. Pull float switch out of hole in tub. The switch
is sealed to the tub in order to stay water tight
and may be difficult to initially break the bond.
8. When reinstalling, apply adhesive to float
switch to prevent leakage.

cover inside the tub.

the tubing connected to the side vent drain
tube. (See Figure 5-33)

counterclockwise until cover is free of the side
vent.
