Whirlpool WP99002560 Water Level Float Switch for Dishwasher

The Whirlpool WP99002560 Dishwasher Water Level Float Switch is a safety component found within the dishwasher's tub. It functions by floating on the water's surface as the dishwasher fills with water. If the water level increases, the float switch rises to a predetermined height and communicates with the dishwasher's control board. This communication prompts the control board to close the water entry valve to prevent overflow and potential water damage. Conversely, if the float switch does not reach the trigger point due to a malfunction or insufficient water levels, the control board will keep the inlet valve open until the appropriate water level is achieved.
