Customer Questions and Answers for Off Switch by Whirlpool

This off switch is a small electrical switch that opens the circuit to stop a function or cycle when triggered by the appliance's mechanism or control. Replacing a worn switch restores reliable shutoff and consistent operation. What it does:

• Interrupts power to stop operation when actuated by a lever, cam, or latch
• Sends an "off" signal to the control for proper shutdown
• Helps correct issues like a function that won't shut off or stops intermittently
• Can resolve situations where jiggling a door/lever is needed to make a function stop

• 1 off switch

• Disconnect power (unplug or switch off the circuit breaker) before servicing
• Access the switch, note wire positions, and transfer wires terminal-for-terminal
• Mount the new switch securely; avoid bending the actuator more than necessary
• Restore power and test operation before full reassembly
