Dishwasher Switch Surface Element Parts

A selector switch used to choose operating modes or settings on compatible Frigidaire appliances. Replacing a worn or failed selector restores reliable user control and lets the appliance respond correctly to setting changes. What it does:

• Acts as the user-facing control for selecting cycles, temperature, or function positions
• Routes power to the correct internal circuits based on the selected position
• Common symptoms: appliance won't change modes, selector feels loose or sticks, or settings don't engage reliably
• Helps restore accurate selection and repeatable operation when the original switch is faulty

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before attempting service
• Access may require removing the control panel or console; keep fasteners organized
• Avoid forcing the switch or contacts; inspect wiring and connectors for damage

This control switch completes the electrical connection for a specific function on the appliance, restoring reliable on/off or selection control. Replacing a worn or failed switch helps return normal operation and user control. What it does

• Acts as the user control to open or close the electrical circuit for a specific function
• Common symptom: appliance function won't start or respond when the control is pressed or turned
• Common symptom: intermittent operation or loss of control for the affected feature
• Replaces a burned, stuck, or electrically failed switch to restore consistent control

• One replacement control switch

• Disconnect power (unplug appliance or turn off circuit breaker) before starting any repair
• Verify correct switch orientation and wiring location before removing old part; label wires if needed
• Use basic hand tools; avoid forcing connectors — inspect for damaged harnesses or terminal tabs

This heater is the electric heating element assembly that generates heat for drying cycles, restoring proper drying performance and cycle temperatures when the original element fails. What it does:

• Converts electrical power into heat to warm the air used during drying cycles
• Commonly linked to no-heat or low-heat symptoms and prolonged drying times
• Can cause the dryer to overwork or run longer when the element is damaged
• May trip thermal fuses or breakers if shorted or grounded

• One heater assembly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Access typically requires removing the dryer cabinet or rear access panel; follow OEM instructions
• Inspect and replace related safety parts (thermal fuses, high-limit thermostats) if they show failure
• Test the new element for continuity and secure all electrical connections before reassembly

This bi-metal assembly is a temperature-sensing component that helps regulate heat by opening or closing an electrical contact as temperatures change, protecting the appliance and ensuring proper operation. What it does:

• Reacts to rising temperature by bending the bi-metal strip to open or close a circuit
• Helps prevent overheating and supports normal heating/cycling functions
• Commonly associated with heating-related issues such as no heat, intermittent heat, or appliance failing to maintain temperature
• Works as part of the appliance's thermal control system to restore safe operating conditions

• One bi-metal assembly

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Handle the part carefully and avoid bending the strip more than necessary
• Verify wiring connections and mounting orientation match the original during installation
