The Door Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwaves. It serves a critical safety function by ensuring that the microwave only operates when the door is securely closed. This switch prevents the appliance from starting if the door is open, safeguarding users from exposure to microwave radiation. 

Symptoms of a bad Door Switch include:

  • Microwave not starting or intermittently stopping,
  • The microwave continuing to operate when the door is opened,
  • Unusual sounds coming from the door area when opened or closed.

Causes of door switch failure typically involve mechanical wear from regular use, accidental damage from forcefully closing or opening the door, or alignment issues causing improper contact.

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

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Door Switch (Part Number: OEM17850324)

1 Answer

Bob, the hood lamp not turning off is going to indicate that the main control W10810046 has a stuck relay. This can be tested by unplugging the microwave and testing the main control from the yellow wire at EP2 pin 3 to the brown wire at EP1 pin 4 for continuity. If there is continuity, the control has failed and would need to be replaced.

Duncan, For this issue the most likely cause would be a interlock that is faulty. Also you will want to check the door switches to make sure that they are good. You will need to test the switches for continuity.

Hello Rod. The fan gets its power from the main board in the unit. You will need to order WPW10678766 for the main board needed. Thanks.
