This micro switch is a compact, snap-action electrical switch that sends an on/off signal when a lever, latch, or paddle is moved. Replacing a worn switch restores reliable detection and control response for the affected function.

• Converts mechanical movement into an electrical open/close signal to the control
• Commonly used for lever/paddle actuators, latches, or interlock detection within the appliance
• Safe symptom clues: no response when actuated, intermittent operation, or a function stuck on/off
• Physical clues: weak or absent "click" when pressed, heat discoloration or damage at terminals

• Disconnect power before servicing; if the product is connected to a water line, close the supply valve
• Note wire positions and terminal labels (COM/NO/NC); transfer wires one at a time to matching terminals
• Match the actuator orientation and mounting position to the original for proper operation
• After installation, verify continuity with a multimeter and test function before reassembly
