Customer Questions and Answers for Door Switch Assembly by Whirlpool

By: Whirlpool
Part Number: OEM18035460
Manufacturer Part Number: WP8182634

The Door Switch Assembly is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This assembly detects whether the washer door is open or closed, allowing the machine to start or stop the washing cycle accordingly.

Causes of a bad door switch assembly can include wear and tear from frequent use, damage from forceful closing of the door, or electrical issues. A malfunctioning switch can prevent the washer from recognizing a closed door, thus hindering the start of the wash cycle or causing it to stop unexpectedly.

Symptoms of a bad Door Switch Assembly include:

  • Washer not starting or stopping mid-cycle
  • Error codes indicating door issues
  • Washer not spinning or agitating
  • Door lock mechanism not engaging or disengaging properly

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

Answer

Jack, Presumably you had a "DU" or "DL" error code. There is a possibility that the damaged door latch assembly could have damaged the CCU, but it's not as common on this model washer as the wholesaler suggested. You do want to recheck and make sure all the wiring harness connectors are properly seated in the board connectors and routed properly through the cabinet. Also check and make sure the door and door strike are properly aligned and engaging the latch assembly properly to the front panel, before you replace the CCU WP8182689.
