Customer Questions and Answers for Switch Assembly (6-Position) by Whirlpool

This 6-position switch assembly replaces a worn or damaged selector switch to restore reliable electrical switching for the appliance control. It helps recover proper cycle selection and responsive control inputs for normal operation. What it does:

• Routes power between control circuits so selected cycles and settings engage correctly.
• Restores reliable selector/position switching when the control won't change settings.
• Common symptom when failing: appliance is unresponsive to cycle changes, selections don't register, or operation is intermittent.
• Matches the OEM switch function used in the control/timer area of compatible units.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any service to avoid shock hazard.
• Remove required panels or the control console to access the switch; keep track of screw locations and wire connections.
• Photograph or label wiring before disconnecting to ensure correct reassembly.
