Whirlpool dishwasher overflow float switch lever

thingiverse

Replacement for a broken/missing float switch lever for one model of Whirlpool dishwasher is available, with part number WP8268892, WP8268892H, or AP6012275. Without this lever, the cycle will run without water since it mistakenly thinks the overflow float has raised. The mushroom-shaped plastic overflow float on the dishwasher floor rises when water fails to drain, cutting off water flow and preventing a potential flood. To ensure accurate printing, use 100% infill for the circle at the end of the lever, weighing it down under the switch and guaranteeing that end will fall if the float's pressure is removed. Although spring pressure from the switch might be enough, being cautious here is advisable. After installation, test raising and lowering the float while listening for the switch to click each time. To adjust infill settings in Cura for a specific section of a model, draw a Support Blocker cube over it, click on the cube, select Per Model Settings tool, choose "modify...infill...", and then change Infill Density value to 100% using the provided textbox. Disclaimer: This is an approximate replica created from online photos and trial-and-error since the original part was missing. Use at your own risk; not responsible if this fails and causes a dishwasher flood in your house.
