For Electrolux group dishwashers, 140000565048 is the genuine anti-flood device, the leak protection part that watches for water in the base of the machine. Electrolux describes it simply as an anti-flood unit. We don't hold a model list for this number, so check the code on your old part or send us your model number through the parts enquiry form before ordering.

Why a dishwasher keeps draining or shows a flood error

Under the tub, a base tray catches any water that escapes from a leaking hose, seal or pump. The anti-flood device sits in that tray. When water builds up, it trips, and the dishwasher stops taking in water and runs the drain pump to protect your floor. A machine that pumps out non-stop, refuses to start a program or shows a leak or flood error has usually tripped it. Find and fix the leak first and dry out the base tray. Replace the device itself when it stays tripped in a dry tray, sticks, or its switch has failed.

Replacing the anti-flood device

Switch off at the wall, turn off the tap and pull the dishwasher out far enough to reach the base. Access is usually from underneath or through a base panel, and water left in the sump can spill, so have towels ready. Dry the base tray completely before fitting the new device, and photograph the wiring so the plug goes back the same way. Run a short program afterwards and check underneath for drips.

Questions about this part

My dishwasher shows a flood error. Is this part faulty?

Not always. Most flood errors are caused by a real leak that has put water in the base tray. Check the hoses, door seal and sump first, then dry the tray. If the error stays with a dry tray, the anti-flood device is a likely culprit.
