Oliver Street November 29, 2020 for Model Number KUDS01ILBL1 Whirlpool 8269209 door switch is Microswitch V7 series V7-1C29E94 this is same as V7-1C27E9 which sells at electronics distributos for around $3.00 in single piece quantity and around $1.50 at 250 piece quantity. The differences are the trailing 4 refers to custom marking, and the 9 vs 7 is the same product with a European ENEC (European Norms Electrical Certification) rating. Since the switch is UL listed and used for a North American product, and the custom marking omits the ENEC marking any dual listing for EU safety rating is of no value. Save everyone a boatload of money and just buy the switch through the electronic parts distribution chain.
1 Answer Oliver, As long as everything for amps and voltages match up, then you should be able to use the part in question. Read More...
Dan July 19, 2020 for Model Number Kenmore 665.17364300 In your video illustrating how to replace a dishwasher door switch, you noted that the model that you were using has 2 switches. Mine does also. How do I know which one, both or neither is/are bad? Thanks for your help.
1 Answer Dan, The switches are tested for continuity. There is a small red button on the switch that should change the reading from open to closed or vice versa. If the switch changes state when the button depressed it is a good switch. Read More...
1 Answer Tom, You will want to make sure that the unit is filling with water to the proper level. If this is not happening then the spray arms will not spin. Read More...
Kevin March 17, 2019 for Model Number mdbh989aws3 My dishwasher closes and there is tension when opening. Visual inspection of the latch and switch look fine. When I push the start button it does not light or start. After I open and close the dishwasher several times, sometimes closing harder than normal the dishwasher will finally start. What part do I need to replace?
1 Answer Kevin, more than likely either the door latch [WPW10404412] is not engaging the microswitches in the latch properly, or the switches [WP8269209] are worn out and intermittently engaging. The switches can be tested for continuity and should be tested a few times to ensure that the issue is intermittent. Read More...
Rob E. December 29, 2017 I have a Whirlpool Quiet Partner II. I think the door switch needs to be replaced. When the door is closed, none of the buttons on the control panel will work. There is play in the handle too. Just wanted to verify this was the case before I ordered the wrong part. Thank you

Morgan Y. October 20, 2017 for Model Number KUDS02FRWH3 I have no power to the control board, checked the breaker and it is on, it was not off but I reset it anyway. Where do I start? There is power to the dishwasher power box where it connects to the home wiring.
1 Answer Hello Morgan, You will need to test the thermal fuse W10258275 with an ohm meter. If it is open, you will need to check for any item in the unit that can draw excessive current such as the motor windings, the heating circuit, or any loose connection. When the thermal fuse kit is installed, be sure to install the wiring that comes with it since the manufacturer has identified the previous style of connection for the thermal fuse has caused this condition.

Rich N January 14, 2017 for Model Number KUDP02CRBL3 Dishwasher door pops open during wash cycle replaced door latch and strike continue to have problem. Perhaps door switch?
1 Answer Rich, The door switch should not cause the door to pop open during the wash cycle and would most likely have to do with a strike adjustment or a faulty latch that was received. Read More...
Belinda October 21, 2016 for Model Number GU2500XTPQ1 Dishwasher won't start. Lock light stays on. Which part should I order?

Waylin March 29, 2016 for Model Number MDB7749AWM2 All the lights work on the cycle and the heated dry but when you close the door to turn it on the start button and the delay wash will not work or light up. Just wondering if you think it would be the door switch?
1 Answer Waylin, No we wouldn't expect the door switches to be the issue. The more likely problem is a circuit failure in the key pad matrix. You'll most likely need a new control panel assembly W10811151 / W10811151 to resolve the problem. Read More...
