By: Whirlpool
Part Number: OEM18017907
Manufacturer Part Number: WP2180236

This 6-position switch assembly replaces a worn or damaged selector switch to restore reliable electrical switching for the appliance control. It helps recover proper cycle selection and responsive control inputs for normal operation. What it does:

  • Routes power between control circuits so selected cycles and settings engage correctly.
  • Restores reliable selector/position switching when the control won't change settings.
  • Common symptom when failing: appliance is unresponsive to cycle changes, selections don't register, or operation is intermittent.
  • Matches the OEM switch function used in the control/timer area of compatible units.
What's included: One switch assembly. Install notes:
  • Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any service to avoid shock hazard.
  • Remove required panels or the control console to access the switch; keep track of screw locations and wire connections.
  • Photograph or label wiring before disconnecting to ensure correct reassembly.

Stuball for Model Number KSRS27QGWH01

Delay in dispensing water. From time paddle is depressed to time water begins flowing has been increasing dramatically. Just stopped working altogether yesterday. I could hear the hum of the solenoid firing up just before dispensing. Of course, no longer. Definitely seems to be electronic part problem as water is dispensing for ice-maker, etc. Is this the correct part (AP3086666), that is, is the timer or solenoid or whatever on this part? Or what else could be causing the problem (10 year old fridge)

Hello Stuball. Try removing the water line from the bottom of the freezer door and see if you get water there. If so, the water line inside the door may be frozen. If there is no water there, check the water tank inside the refrigerator and see if it is frozen. You can remove the water line from the wter valve WP2188542 and see if your getting water there. Hope this helps.

Hello Melissa. You will need to disassemble the dispenser assembly. To remove the cover you will need to use a flat blade putty knife. It uses tabs that snap out to attach to the refrigerator. Once the front cover is removed, you will be able to access the switch. Hope this helps.
