Water that fills your dishwasher lifts the float. When it reaches a certain level, the float triggers the float switch to shut off, thereby shutting off the flow of water into the dishwasher.

Simple, but beware
This part was simple to install once understood, however be where of their tricky return policy. They have 12 hoops you have to jump through before they’ll except the return and if you don’t pass each one they’ll deny your return and refuse to send the part back to you (plus you have to pay your own shipping to send it back to them).

No water to dish washer
After figuring out the problem wasn't the water inlet switch, I replaced the switch assembly for the water level float. Cut off supply water to dishwasher, removed the 2 screws holding switch assembly, and installed new switch. 15 minutes, very easy job.

How do i access the float switch/inlet valve on this model?
For model number FDS252RBS2
Hi John,
Thank you for your question. You have to take off the kickplate at the very bottom of your appliance. Looking underneath of the appliance, directly to the right while standing in front of it, you should see your float switch. It should be held in by one screw. Just unscrew that and you should be able to replace your switch without any issue.
I hope this helps!

If the water only fills halfway to the float switch is the float switch faulty?
For model number FFCD2413US2A
Hello Tyler, thank you for your question. Yes, the issue is relatable to the float switch, part number PS3492842. We would also recommend checking the float, part number PS11770486. If you require assistance placing an order, please contact customer service. We hope that helps!
three lights are flashing, dishwasher will not reset via turning the circuit breaker (5 minute break before turning breaker back on) off. The door is latching so its not the latch assembly. Any ideas I could try next before replacing items blindly? Or is there a specific problem you would suggest?
For model number FFID2426TS2A
Hello Angelita, Thank you for your question. Your Frigidaire dishwasher lights are likely flashing because the door latch is faulty, even if it is latched. Part number PS12585469. Besides that, a malfunctioning heating element, part number PS3653449 or main control board could also trigger the lights to flash. If you need help placing an order, our customer service is open 7 days a week. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you!
Hello Tim, thank you for your question. The dishwasher uses the pressure of the water to spin the arms around. The water jets on the spray arm are angled, so the water sprays out at an angle, usually about 45 degrees off the vertical. The water inlet valve PS16218688 allows the water to flow in from the house water supply. You should check both the house and the Inlet valve as well as any kinks in an inlet hose. We hope this helps.
