Laundry pump float problem

Author: Sgmnbear (NY)

We had a friend replace our laundry pump (little giant) a couple months back. Worked great for a month now leaking again. If I unplug the float it works fine but I dont really like letting it run through the whole cycle, afraid I might burn it out. He said the float needs to be adjusted but I can't get him to show up to fix it. Is it something I can adjust myself? I don't really have time to sit for the whole cycle and plug/unplug it with a toddler, full time job, and a new baby in a couple weeks. Thanks.

Author: m & m (MD) Are you sure there is an adjustable float? Little Giants, especially their laundry pumps, use a switch that is pressure activated.
