This door switch senses whether the door is open or closed and communicates that status to the appliance's controls. It helps prevent operation with the door ajar and can control an interior light, promoting safe, proper cycle operation. What it does:

  • Detects door position and opens/closes the circuit or signals the control accordingly
  • Allows the unit to start/run only when the door is fully shut
  • Switches the interior light on/off depending on model
  • Common symptoms of a failed switch: cycle won't start, "door open/ajar" message, interior light stuck on or off, unit stops when the door is jostled
What's included:
  • 1 door switch
Install notes:
  • Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
  • Access the switch from behind the front panel or inner door panel, depending on model
  • Note wire positions and transfer them one at a time to the new switch
  • Ensure the actuator engages properly with the door and test operation before reassembly
