Microwave won't start when door closes? This door interlock assembly restores the safety switch mechanism. Requires panel removal to install.

The Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwaves. It controls the turning on and off of power to the microwave during cooking cycles as well as detects positions within cycles to signal appropriate actuations of the microwave's magnetron, fans, and lights. The switch is a crucial electrical component that facilitates the fully automatic operation of preset cooking programs.  

Causes of a bad switch can include wear and tear over time or unexpected surges that cause electrical component failure.

Symptoms of a bad switch include:

• Cooking programs failing to advance properly or stopping mid-cycle unexpectedly
• The microwave failing to turn on or experiencing power issues  
• Random noises, humming, or lights occurring when the microwave is supposed to be idle
• Buttons or controls acting intermittently unresponsive

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

• Can reduce rattling or unusual noises caused by a failed spring
• Restores normal mechanical action when the original spring is stretched or broken

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
