The Door Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It plays a crucial role in ensuring the dishwasher operates only when the door is securely closed. The switch signals the control board that the door is shut, allowing the wash cycle to begin safely.

You should replace the door switch if it becomes faulty or damaged. Causes of a bad door switch can include wear and tear from regular use, electrical issues, or physical damage from forceful closing of the door.

Symptoms of a bad door switch include:

  • The dishwasher not starting or stopping mid-cycle
  • Error codes related to the door latch or door switch
  • The dishwasher operating with the door open (safety issue)
  • No response when pressing the start button

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
