Float Valve
Removal and Replacement: Float Valve
Float Valve
The float valve allows water to enter the reservoir
but not overfill it. If the float sinks, or the valve will
not seat, the float valve should be replaced. The
float may plug-up from minerals in the water, and
may be cleaned rather than replaced.
1. Shut off the water supply.
2. Open the bin door.
3. Remove the pump shield.
4. Unscrew the compression fitting at the top of the
float, and pull the water inlet tube out of the valve.
5. Loosen the nut securing the float to the bracket.
6. Pull the float to the right and out to clean or
replace.
7. Reverse the above steps to reassemble.
Note: This illustration shows
the pump removed.
It is NOT necessary to remove
the pump to remove the float.
