Just as I said, if the pump is working well, this fix it kit is just the thing you need. Don't pay any attention to whoever on You Tube uses Vaseline around the O-ring and rubber diaphragm. It doesn't work that way (from experience with it). The Vaseline keeps the seal really tight, and the diaphragm doesn't go in and out correctly to activate or deactivate the switch. Clean it well, and tighten all parts. If it doesn't last, I'll get the plastic housing new and use the kit with it. Any small variation where water can get in will doom the on/off switch setup in conjuction with the diaphragm. I've already sent for this kit twice, but now, I'm familiar with how it works. If it should fill with water inside the wiring area (which made it run constantly), then I'll see that there must be an area where water can get in.

I would buy again
In the first order the switch was bad. Emailed and they sent replacement kits.

Easy repair
Apparently the microswitch failed, the connection where the electrical connector to the microswitch broke (metal fatigue) so power was interrupted. The pump was replaced in 2022. It seems like a short life for this part. At least all the possible parts were available.

Perfect Fit pump repair part
The repair kit arrived quickly and was installed with ease. The pump as as good as new. The pump repair kit was just as described and cost was far less than purchasing a new pump. The pump was a Little Giant.

I would probably buy again if needed
The product came quickly and all was good but the diaphragm was out of round so I used my old one. It leaked water into the housing

Saved a lot of $$$
Was great to be able to get an OEM part for my laundry sink pump. Saved all kinds of dollars since I would have had the plumber in to re-pipe a new replacement pump. Spent $25 and less than an hour to replace the float switch and diaphragm. Parts was in stock and delivered in 2 days. Great service!
