Tested the water inlet valve and it has continuity. Removed the flood float switch. The switch is getting 118.7 volts. But the water inlet is not getting any. I replaced the float switch and when I hit the start button, it popped. What would have caused this to happen? Did I have the wrong float switch?

But if it was a float switch from any unit it should be able to handle the current to run a water valve.
