Reed switch faults in a dishwasher

A reed switch is a tiny sealed switch that closes when a magnet comes near it. Dishwashers use them to sense position or level without electrical contacts touching water, often with a magnet in a float or moving cup. If the switch fails or the cup cracks, the control board gets the wrong signal. That can show up as a warning light that won't clear, a fill or level fault, a program that won't start, or a refill reminder that stays on even when topped up.

Fitting the container cup

Power the dishwasher down at the wall and close the water tap before starting. Access depends on where the cup sits, but expect to remove a panel or work from inside the tub. Note the reed switch lead routing and plug position, and keep any seals in good condition so the tank stays watertight. Run a short program afterwards and check for leaks and warning lights.
