Description

This photo sensor is a replacement optical switch that communicates light/position signals to the RCM-A301 control module, restoring reliable sensing for the appliance's control functions. Use it when the control module no longer detects expected signals. What it does:

• Detects light/position changes and sends corresponding signals to the RCM-A301 control module
• Helps the control board determine component position or state for normal cycle operation
• Common symptom link: replace when you see sensor-related error codes, intermittent or failed cycle advances, or when the control no longer senses expected signals
• Small 5V sensor designed for direct connector replacement with the RCM-A301 assembly

What's included:

• One photo sensor (RCM-A301, 5V)

Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing electrical components
• Handle the sensor and control wiring gently; avoid pulling on wires or bending pins
• Ensure the connector is fully seated and the sensor is aligned as original during reassembly
• After installation, power up the appliance and run a test cycle to ensure proper operation
