dishwasher overflow

My dishwasher was leaking on the floor so I opened the door and the tub was overfilled, in fact with the door open it was still adding water. Shut water off with manual valve and pumped out tub. Cleaned float and seems to move just fine but same thing happened again later. Dishwasher worked fine for a week but it happened again. Tub is full and door is open and water valve still is adding water. Is it a bad valve??? Strange how it works some times and not others.

Lad,

You’re on target. If the float moves freely, if the fill issue is intermittent, repalce the fill valve and "flush" the water supply line and shut off valve under the sink.

The model number you supplied is a partial and incorrect number., or we would have supplied you a part number.

Thanks and Good Luck,
