The Washer Door Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This component is crucial for ensuring the washer operates safely by detecting whether the door is open or closed. The door switch prevents the washer from starting or continuing its cycle when the door is open, and it allows the machine to function only when the door is securely closed.

Symptoms of a failing Washer Door Switch include:

• The washer not starting or stopping unexpectedly during a cycle
• Error codes related to door closure issues displayed on the washer's control panel
• The washer door not locking properly or the lock mechanism not engaging
• The washer continuing to operate with the door open

Causes of a bad door switch can include wear and tear from frequent use, damage from repeated opening and closing of the door, electrical faults such as short circuits, or physical damage from mishandling or impact.

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with some models from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore.

The Leveling Leg Pad is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool washing machines.

It also protects flooring surfaces from potential scratches or damage.

Symptoms of a bad Leveling Leg Pad include:

• Increased vibration or noise during the wash or spin cycle
• The washing machine wobbling or becoming unsteady
• Visible wear, cracks, or damage to the pad

Causes of a failing Leveling Leg Pad can include wear and tear from prolonged use, exposure to moisture, or excessive weight causing deformation. Replacing worn pads helps maintain the appliance's balance and efficiency.
