General Electric WD01X23496 Flood Switch Housing

Product Description

The General Electric WD01X23496 is an OEM flood switch housing designed to restore proper flood detection function in compatible GE dishwashers. This housing encases the flood switch assembly, which monitors water levels at the base of the unit and triggers shutoff if a leak or overflow condition is detected. It is a direct factory-spec replacement component, manufactured to match the original fitment dimensions and material tolerances. Licensed appliance technicians and experienced service professionals typically install this part during leak-related service calls or preventive maintenance when the original housing shows cracking, warping, or physical damage.

This flood switch housing is intended for residential dishwasher applications. It is used when the original component is damaged, degraded, or when the dishwasher is exhibiting nuisance flood-protection trips caused by a compromised housing. Installation requires access to the base pan area of the dishwasher. Because the input data does not list specific compatible model numbers, technicians should cross-reference the WD01X23496 part number against the unit service label or GE parts lookup before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified appliance technician. Disconnect power to the dishwasher at the circuit breaker and shut off the water supply before beginning any disassembly. Access to the flood switch housing typically requires removing the lower kick panel and tilting or pulling the unit forward. Follow all applicable local electrical and plumbing codes during service.
