• Used for door-position detection and other door-controlled functions
• Can cause door-related issues when faulty, such as lights that won't turn on or stay on, or door-status faults
• Helps restore proper signaling to control boards or lighting circuits when replaced

Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair to avoid shock or injury
