whether the floater is blocked by the dirt
and can’t move upward and backward
smoothly. If that is the case, cleaning the
shaft and the reservoir.
c) Check whether the floating switch is
function or not by using electronic
multimeter. See the figures and description
on the right.
From left to right, #1, #2 & #3 switches are
located in the shaft respectively as shown
in the above figure.
#1 switch is related to Yellow & White wires.
#2 switch is related to Black & White wires;
