Part Number: WP1172075
The float is used to help monitor the water level inside of the dehumidifier bucket to prevent water from overflowing onto the floor. Once the water level reaches the maximum in the bucket, the float will signal the float switch to shut down the dehumidifier to avoid the bucket from overflowing, causing water to spill on to your floor. If your bucket is overflowing you may need to replace the float. The float is black in color, made of plastic and measures approximately 4” long. This is a genuine OEM part. Please remember to disconnect the power before starting the repair.
