Customer Questions and Answers for Interlock Switch by Ge

4.89 (64)
By: Ge
Part Number: OEM11984304
Manufacturer Part Number: WD21X10261

The Interlock Switch is an OEM replacement part for GE electric and gas dryers. This safety component monitors the door closure, preventing operation if the door is not securely closed and latched. The switch measures 2 inches long and 1/2 inch wide.

Symptoms of a faulty interlock switch include:

  • Dryer failing to start or running with the door open  
  • Timer display not illuminated when start button is pressed  
  • Inability to open the dryer door during operation
  • Dryer suddenly stopping mid-cycle before fully drying clothes

Causes relate to the internal component contacting the door frame over 50,000 open/close cycles potentially exposing wiring to wear. Regular cleaning the external switch area prevents dust or lint buildup skewing performance. 

This genuine GE switch is compatible with Hotpoint and RCA dryers as well.

Note: Can be used as a dishwasher door switch on specific models. Check your model number for the most accurate results.

Answer

Sue, It's a bit involved, but nothing you can't handle. Just remember to turn the power off to the dishwasher before you start, and label any wires you disconnect, you'll find it a lot easier, when you start the repair procedure. Here's the basics. " DOOR COMPNENTS The door components are accessible by removing three(3) screws from each side of the inner door and one(1) screw at the top near the latch. Carefully separate the inner door panel from the outer door panel. Raise the inner door panel." You would then have access to the latch assembly WD13X10003 and the switch WD21X10261.
