The Washer Door Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This component is crucial for ensuring the washer operates safely by detecting whether the door is open or closed. The door switch prevents the washer from starting or continuing its cycle when the door is open, and it allows the machine to function only when the door is securely closed.

Symptoms of a failing Washer Door Switch include:

• The washer not starting or stopping unexpectedly during a cycle
• Error codes related to door closure issues displayed on the washer's control panel
• The washer door not locking properly or the lock mechanism not engaging
• The washer continuing to operate with the door open

Causes of a bad door switch can include wear and tear from frequent use, damage from repeated opening and closing of the door, electrical faults such as short circuits, or physical damage from mishandling or impact.

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

The Door Latch Kit is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool washers. This component is responsible for securely locking the washer door during the wash cycle, preventing it from opening unexpectedly and ensuring a safe and efficient operation.

• Door opening unexpectedly during the wash cycle
• Leaks or water seeping due to an improper door seal
• Excessive wear or damage to the latch components

The Door Switch Lever is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. It plays a vital role in ensuring the dryer only operates when the door is securely closed by engaging with the door switch to signal the door's status.

Causes of a bad door switch lever can include normal wear and tear from repeated use, physical damage from accidental impact, or deformation from heat and humidity inside the dryer. A faulty lever can prevent the dryer from starting or stopping correctly.

Symptoms of a bad door switch lever include:

• Dryer not starting
