Bucket Water Level Switch

Part #1188814
This part is for your dehumidifier. The bucket water level switch is used to prevent water overflow when the bucket is full. You will not be able to tell if the switch has failed just by looking at it. You will need to perform a continuity test. This will determine if a continual electrical path is present. If you notice that dehumidifier will not run even when the bucket is empty, it might be due to the switch needing to be replaced. To access the part, you will need to remove all the outer housing. The switch is located in a plastic holder found on the inside wall.

Zip Tie
Part #WPW10339879
A zip tie, also known as a cable tie or a wire tie, is a fastening device that holds wires or tubing together. If a machine has wires or tubing that are easily shifted, you need to hold them tightly together using a zip tie. It is a flexible, plastic strip that has serrated teeth and a locking mechanism. If the zip tie is damaged, it should be replaced. Freely moving wires may rub against surfaces, causing them to break over time. Zip ties are single-use and may not be reused after they are removed from a machine. To release the locking mechanism, you will need to insert a small flat tool into the head of the zip tie, between the tongue and the serration, and depress the bar. You can then pull the teeth out of the mechanism to loosen the cable tie. This part is produced by the original equipment manufacturer and is sold individually.

Push on connectors and switch housing were different

  • A Bit Difficult

The switch housing was not exactly the same for easy snap in. I removed the actual switch and installed it into the old housing. Then I found that the male pins were larger than the old ones. I chose to clip off the female connectores, strip the wires, and solder the wires to the pins on the switch. It was easier for me than attempting to change the push on connectors. For me, the actual switch was what I wanted and I fixed it my way. It was easy to do however some folks may want to change the push on connectors. Works great and saved me hundreds of dollars. Thanks.
