By: Whirlpool
Part Number: OEM13289769
Manufacturer Part Number: W10269460

The Microwave Door Switch is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool microwaves. It is important for safety as it detects when the door is properly closed and latched before initiating cooking cycles. The switch prevents operation if the door is ajar.

Causes of a bad door switch can include wear and grime accumulation over many years of use, impact damage, or failures in the plastic actuator or electrical components.

Symptoms of a bad door switch include:

  • The microwave failing to start cooking even with the door closed and latched
  • Error messages related to the door position being displayed
  • Inability to lock or properly sense the closed door position

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

Rebekah Wolf for Model Number WHM32519FB0

I purchased all 3 replacement switches and plastic mounting brackets as I heard they tend to break when replacing the switches…is it going to be apparent which switch goes where? Issue with this microwave is the interior light doesn't always come on, opened the door while the microwave was running and it didn't stop, door is closed yet the microwave still thinks the door is open…all intermittently. Called a repair service to fix and they didn't know how to fix it (!). I am not an electrician, however, the reviews on this site led me to believe this one is pretty straightforward….is it? Thank you, Rebekah

Answer

Rebekah, two of the switches you purchased are what is called -normally open and one is normally closed, they are very specific in their position in the switch housing and the wires that are attached to them. If you look at each switch, it will say NO or NC, when you take the old switch off the bracket, take pictures of the wire position and what switch is NO or NC and to where it fits in the bracket.
