Description

This microswitch is a small snap-action switch used to detect position and complete control circuits in appliances, restoring reliable on/off or closed/open signaling for door and actuator mechanisms. What it does:

• Acts as a position/limit switch to detect door or actuator positions and send the signal to the control board.
• Restores proper control-circuit continuity so cycles can start or finish when the door or part is in the correct position.
• Common symptom: appliance won't start, stops mid-cycle, or shows a door/lock fault when the switch fails.
• Small, mechanical switching action — responds to an actuator or lever movement.

What's included:

• One microswitch.

Install notes:

• Disconnect power before accessing or replacing the switch to avoid shock or damage.
• Verify the exact switch location and actuator orientation before removal; note wiring placement or take a photo for reassembly.
• Test continuity with a multimeter only after safely isolating the appliance; replace if it fails to open/close reliably.
• May require partial disassembly of the control panel, door latch, or actuator housing; follow appliance-specific service instructions.
