Parts for Thermador MTR-36: 02 - Main Body (2) Parts

A molded shield that protects and positions the dishwasher motor/micro-switch assembly so controls operate reliably and wiring stays clear. Helps prevent contact damage and keeps the switch area properly isolated for safe operation. What it does:

• Shields the motor or micro-switch from debris and accidental contact
• Keeps switch actuator aligned for consistent on/off operation
• Helps prevent shorting or wear of nearby wiring and components
• Supports reliable switch mounting and repeatable performance

• One replacement switch shield (single piece as shown)

• Designed to mount around the motor/micro-switch area
• Inspect surrounding wiring and connectors; replace any damaged insulation before reassembly
• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before starting work
• Use basic hand tools; avoid forcing plastic tabs to prevent breakage

This is a replacement LIS CMT switch used to restore proper electrical switching for the control module and motor circuits. It helps return normal operation when the original switch is worn or failed. What it does:

• Acts as an electrical switch for the control module and motor circuitry
• Enables the appliance to complete control signals needed for motor or control functions
• Commonly linked to symptoms like no motor response, intermittent operation, or unresponsive controls
• Provides a direct replacement that fits the original mounting and connector arrangement

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting any repairs to avoid shock
• Handle the switch and connectors carefully to avoid damage to terminals or wiring
• Verify connector orientation and secure mounting when installing the new switch

This actuator is the small control motor that moves internal components to change positions or routes within the appliance, restoring proper mechanical motion and cycle operation. What it does:

• Moves dampers, doors or internal levers so the appliance can change modes or direct flow
• Enables cycle components to engage at the correct time for normal operation
• Commonly replaced when cycles fail to advance, modes don't change, or mechanical parts are unresponsive
• Works as the electromechanical interface between control signals and moving parts

• Disconnect power before inspecting or replacing the actuator
• Handle the motor and wiring harness gently to avoid connector or gear damage
• Use basic hand tools; keep track of screws and any clipped linkages during removal
