• Improves appearance when the original cap is cracked, torn, or missing
• Prevents accidental contact with the switch mechanism

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Remove the control panel or trim per your model's service instructions to access the button area
• Press the plug onto the switch stem until fully seated; do not force or pry with metal tools
• If the switch underneath is damaged, replace the switch assembly rather than relying on the cap alone
