General Electric Switch

Range hood not turning on or fan won't respond to controls? This switch restores power control and operation. Straightforward repair for most DIYers.

This switch latch is the replacement latch that secures and actuates a door or control switch so the appliance recognizes the door position and allows normal operation. Replacing a worn latch restores proper switch engagement and reliable door closure. What it does:

• Holds and trips the door or control switch when the door is closed so the appliance can start.
• Ensures consistent switch engagement to prevent intermittent operation.
• Commonly replaces a broken, bent, or worn latch that won't hold the switch.
• Symptoms it can fix: appliance won't start, door won't stay closed, or switches that fail to engage.

• One switch latch as shown.

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before beginning any repair.
• Inspect surrounding trim and switch for damage; replace switch if faulty.
• Basic hand tools are usually required; handle plastic parts carefully to avoid cracking.
• Test door movement and switch engagement after installation to ensure proper operation.
