Whirlpool WPW10077871 Float Assembly for Dishwasher

The Whirlpool WPW10077871 Dishwasher Float Assembly is a component that regulates the water level within the dishwasher during operation. As water fills the dishwasher tub, the float assembly rises in alignment with the increasing water level. When the float reaches a certain height, it triggers a switch that communicates with the dishwasher's control board, stopping the water inlet valve from allowing more water to enter once the appropriate level is achieved. This part is designed to maintain the correct water level necessary for cleaning, and it is compatible with several Whirlpool dishwasher models. Proper functioning of the float assembly helps to minimize the risk of water damage to the dishwasher and surrounding areas.
