# How to Replace the Float Turn on a Kenmore Dishwasher
The float turn in your Kenmore dishwasher is a component located in the center of the unit's tub. When you run a wash cycle in your dishwasher, the float turn slowly rises with the addition of water into the unit. When the turn reaches a certain level, a switch is triggered that shuts off the water and prevents leakage. A faulty float turn should be replaced as soon as possible.
