Kenmore / Sears Washer Switch

The Washer Door Lock Switch is an OEM part for LG washing machines. This critical safety feature locks the washer door during operation to prevent it from being opened, which ensures safety and proper functioning. The door lock switch also communicates with the washer's control system to indicate that the door is securely closed and the machine can begin its cycle.

Symptoms of a bad Washer Door Lock Switch include:

• The washing machine refusing to start, despite the door appearing to be closed.
• The door failing to lock properly, or the lock releasing prematurely during a cycle.
• Error messages on the washer's display related to door closure issues.

Causes of a bad door lock switch can include mechanical failures such as worn or damaged locking mechanisms, electrical issues like faulty wiring or failed solenoids, or alignment problems that prevent the door from engaging the switch properly.

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore models.

The Lid Switch Assembly with Wire Harness is an OEM part for GE washing machines. This assembly is crucial for the safe and effective operation of the washer, as it detects whether the lid is closed and allows the machine to operate only when the lid is securely shut. It also helps to control the washer's functions during the spin and agitation cycles.

Causes of a bad lid switch assembly can include regular wear and tear, electrical issues, or physical damage due to forceful closing of the lid. A faulty lid switch can prevent the washer from operating properly or stop it mid-cycle.

Symptoms of a bad lid switch assembly include:

• The washer not starting or stopping mid-cycle
• The machine not spinning or agitating
• Error codes related to lid or door issues
• The washer filling with water but not proceeding to the wash cycle

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

This auto load sensing water level pressure switch monitors the tub's water level via the air hose and signals the control to start or stop filling. It helps prevent underfilling or overfilling for consistent wash performance. What it does:

• Senses tub water level through air pressure and communicates with the control/timer
• Regulates automatic load-size fill by cycling the inlet valve circuit
• Addresses symptoms such as won't fill, won't stop filling/overfills, underfills, or cycle not advancing due to water-level detection issues

• One load-sensing water level pressure switch

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before servicing
• Access the console/top to release and remove the switch
• Transfer wire connectors and the pressure hose one at a time; ensure the hose is seated fully and not cracked, kinked, or obstructed
• Do not adjust any calibration screws; mount in the same orientation and reassemble

This lid switch detects when the washer lid is closed and signals the control to allow motor operation. Replacing a faulty switch restores normal cycle starts and the washer's safety interlock. What it does:

• Detects lid position and completes the electrical circuit so the washer can start and run.
• Acts as the safety interlock that prevents the motor from running with the lid open.
• A failing switch can prevent the washer from starting, stop spin or agitation, or cause cycles to stop unexpectedly.
• Replaces the lid-actuated switch used in top-load washers' control/interlock system.

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before beginning work.
• May require removing the washer top or control panel to access the switch—keep track of fasteners and connectors.
• Handle electrical connectors gently and verify connections are secure; test the new switch only after restoring power per manufacturer guidance.

This water level pressure switch senses the washer's water level and tells the control when to stop filling, helping restore correct fill cycles and prevent overfilling or underfilling. Fits many top- and front-load Whirlpool machines. What it does:

• Monitors tub water pressure and signals the washer control to start/stop filling.
• Can resolve symptoms like overfilling, no fill, always filling, or washer not advancing through cycles.
• Works as the control's water-level detector, replacing a failed or intermittent switch.
• Compatible with systems that use a pressure hose to communicate tub water level.

• One water level pressure switch (pressure sensor) as shown.

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before starting any repair.
• Access typically requires removing the control console or top panel; handle internal wiring and connectors carefully.
• Reconnect the pressure hose securely to avoid false readings; inspect hose for cracks or blockages and replace if needed.
• Test the washer through a quick cycle after installation to ensure correct operation.

This water level pressure switch senses drum water level and tells the washer when to stop filling so loads get the correct amount of water. It restores reliable fill control for machines that overfill, underfill, or fail to advance cycles. What it does:

• Monitors water height via an air-pressure line and signals the control board to start or stop filling.
• Helps prevent overfilling or underfilling that can cause poor wash performance or leaks.
• Can restore normal cycle advance when a faulty level switch causes the washer to stall or display fill/drain errors.
• Works as the washer's primary water-level detection device tied to automatic fill control.

• One water level pressure switch assembly

• Disconnect power and water supply before attempting service.
• Handle wiring connectors and the pressure hose gently; secure connections to avoid air leaks.
• Verify proper routing and attachment of the pressure hose to ensure accurate level sensing.

This rocker switch replaces a worn or broken on/off control for the appliance, restoring reliable manual control of the affected function. It's the direct-fit switch used where a small rectangular rocker actuator is needed. What it does

• Acts as the user-operated on/off control for the circuit it serves.
• Restores power control when the original switch no longer clicks or stays in position.
• Common symptom: switch feels loose, is stuck, or the circuit does not respond when the switch is operated.
• Uses the same mounting and electrical connections as the original to simplify replacement.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting service to avoid shock.
• Access usually requires removing a control panel or console; keep track of fasteners and wire locations.
• Transfer wires exactly as removed; confirm firm terminal connections.
• Test switch operation and restore power only after reassembly.
