This door switch detects when the dishwasher door is fully closed and latched. Replacing a worn or intermittent switch restores reliable start/stop operation and ensures the safety interlock cuts power whenever the door is opened.
- Senses door-closed status and sends a signal to the control
- Interrupts power to the machine when the door opens
- Helps prevent operation with an unlatched door
- Typical failure symptoms: won't start, stops mid-cycle if the door is bumped, or only runs when pressing on the door
What's included: One door switch. Installation notes:
- Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
- Access the latch/switch area by removing the inner door panel or console; note wire locations
- Transfer wires one at a time and secure the new switch in the bracket
- Verify latch engagement and switch actuation before restoring power
