Description

This microswitch is the small electrical switch used by the appliance's door latch assembly to detect door position and enable operation. It provides a reliable on/off signal so the unit only runs when the door is securely closed. What it does:

• Detects door closed/open status and signals the control circuit to allow operation
• Prevents operation when the door is open, improving safety
• Can cause intermittent operation or no start if the switch fails
• May produce arcing or visible burning at the switch if damaged

What's included:

• One replacement microswitch as shown

Install notes:

• Disconnect power (unplug or breaker) before accessing the door assembly
• Handle door components and sharp sheet-metal carefully; wear gloves and eye protection
• Reassemble all door hardware and test operation with the door closed
