Great video. Helped make my job much easier to replace. Thanks again.

You guys have some great videos and very awesome photography. The guys performing these Mcguyverisms aren't bad either.

Thanks for the video! This fixed our dishwasher! It was leaving the dishes wet.

When I replaced my flood switch the old one had grease and/or soap in it. So to make sure the drain hose was clear I used a wet vacuum to clear the hose. I disconnected the hose from underneath the sink and attached the vacuum from that end. I believe my problem was cause by cheap soap. Cascade triple action is definitely the way to go with soap. Good luck!

Thank you so much for taking the time to make your videos, I definitely learned from everyone I’ve watched.. for this part, do you know if there’s a way to test the old part to confirm that it is bad? There are four wires that attached to this harness, a red, orange, blue, and a white… I can’t find any information on how to test the part.. I just like to confirm the old part is bad, I like to be sure that the part is faulty, if at all possible, thanks again

Glad the videos have helped you fix your appliances. Here is the testing information for the float switch: There is a white/red wire and an orange/gray wire that you would put your meter leads to and there should be continuity.

Loop a string around the electrical connection before disconnecting so that you don't have to worry about hanging on to the wires.

Note to self- The first screw you remove WILL find its way to the small drainage opening in the back left of the recess! For the second screw, I used some putty to hold it to the nut driver.

Does the tiny notch at the edge of the bottom of the sensor need to be oriented in any special way? Doesn't seem like it from the video.

My new flood switch rattles as if there is something loose inside, is that normal?

We constantly have water in that area, could that be the reason the water never is hot?

It is possible. You could also be having an issue with the heater as well, or the water coming inside the machine may not be hot enough either.

@@appliancepartspros we have a whole house, hot water, recirculating system, so the water that goes in there is piping hot. I’m going to try doing this first since the part only cost $15, the full pump with the O-ring that heats the water is $200. Fingers crossed. It’s this easy fix!

Dont have to replace it 9 times out of 10. soak the float switch and shake it to loosen the build up and then repeat until the water its soaking in is clean after soaking and shaking. then reinstall.

removing dishwasher from cabinet to access the heating element terminals and ohming across (measured between 16 and 17 ohms which says element is okay).

start a load and let it run into a clean cycle then open the dishwasher and splash water on the element, did it hiss? then it's probably alright.

has anyone ever taken one of these flood switches apart?
