How can I be sure they are floaters and what do they look like?

toilet will not fill with water

Is the floater on a dongle cord or does the floater slide up an down on a shaft? Are you saying the floater won't float? It seems if you can raise the floater up which contains the switch and it works, it should work when liquid makes the float rise. Is the sump placed low enough in the liquid to ensure the float will rise high enough to turn on?

there are filters in your water lines and sometimes the drain check to see if plugged

A few things to check look in the tank make sure nothing is blocking the flapper at the bottom thats the thing that lets the water drain into the bowl if it is clear check make sure the chain or line that connects the flush handle to the flapper is not kinked causing it to hold the flap up enough to let the water drain. If these are ok sometimes sediments will make the float device, whether its a ball or a canister type to stick reach in and lift the floater if the water stops then adjust the floater some have a screw on the canisters to adjust some an arm some the whole mechanism shaft screws up and down to adjust if its the ball hold the metal arm firm next to the base and bend it slightly down on the other end so the ball goes further into the water so when you release it lifts it up better don't bend to much check and bend more if you need to. If its a ball make sure water is not getting into it by feeling if so replace it. If none of these work you can replace the whole thing for around $20 just turn the water off flush the tank get all the excess water out and go to town its not hard make sure you have pipe tape and if you don't know about the tape ask the hardware dealer to explain how it goes on just a couple wraps. The hardware store can help you pick the one you need tell them what yours looks like and they can help find a replacement.

hi there,

the fuel overflowing on the carbs is due to floater malfunction or clogged. Dismantle the carb, open the the bottom half where the fuel reservoir is screwed and you'll see a fuel floater. Usually black and if you try to analyze how it moves, it blocks the small hole (where the fuel comes in) once it is up. YOu'll need to disassemble this first making sure how it was placed, clean the pin hole, clean the rubber pointed plugger and assemble it back.

Test it out first by blowing air and slowly elevating the floater, you shouldnt be able to blow air on it. If you are still able to, adjust the level by using a long nose plier.

Put the pieces back and install the carb. That should solve the leak.

Let me know if there are other problems,

please rate if this in any way helps,

Hi.

You will need to pull out the appliance and check the hoses at the back. Ensure that inlet hose is not kinked or blocked, and ensure that there is enough pressure from the faucet connected to the dishwasher.

Once you are sure that the water source is OK, you will need to test water inlet valve and water level sensor.

Inlet valve is tested reading Ohms at valve solenoid contacts. The valve is generally faulty if it does not open when energized. dual valves can also be tested swapping contacts between the two inlet valves' solenoids.

If the inlet valve is OK, then the water level and overfill devices must be tested, as this can prevent the inlet valve from opening.
The water level switch is often a floater switch. The machine can also use a pressure switch and an overvill device that fills a container. Floater is tested ensuring that the floater is not stuck or sinking, and verifying that the switch connected to the arm is opening and closing. Other way to test the float switch is by jumping it.

Some of the tests described is suitable for a technician or for an experienced DIYer. Always disconnect power before performing any maintainance.

If you need to contact a technician, call the number listed on the use and care manual or use the Fixya Products Repair & Service Directory.

Nope, it's your fuel pump. If it's stuck in one place and doesn't move at all than yes, it is the floater, but if it fluctuates and tells you that you're empty most of the time than it is, in fact, your fuel pump itself. That fix will be about 130 for the fuel pump, and about the same for the labor to put it on seeing as how they have to drop the gas tank. If it's the floater than you yourself could drop the tank if you have the tools and a little know-how, and then just dis-lodge the floater and Abra kadabra, it's fixed.

hope it helps.

there is a floater switch on the machine over the bucket (and sometimes in it). the floater tells the machine that the bucket is full. if the floater is stuck, the machine will assume that the bucket is not yet full, and will continue to run. check that floater switch with the bucket out. you may need to press in the bucket switch so the machine thinks the bucket is in. then lift the floater and see if it stops running. if not, the switch is bad.

Are you sure it is not from the carb's overflow pipe?If any of the floaters inside is not cutting the gas it will overflow eventually.The floaters push a pin against a hole from where the gas comes through.Maybe one of those pins has damaged rubber nose and need to be replaced.You should also check the pipes from the tank to the pump if any of them is damaged.

Removing the water level sensor it is not a difficult operation, it is held with one bolt at the base of the floater arm.

The problem is that you cannot be sure that the floater is not working unless you find out that the floater is filled with water or stuck.

There is an electronic test to verify if water level switch activated by the floating sensor is working. Instructions here: Bosch dishwasher helps.
