This switch actuator assembly transfers motion to a microswitch so the appliance can sense a required condition and operate safely. If the actuator wears or breaks, the switch may not engage, causing no-start or intermittent operation. What it does:

• Presses the corresponding microswitch at the correct point in the mechanism's travel
• Signals the control that a required condition is met
• Helps prevent operation when the mechanism isn't in the correct position
• Common symptoms of a failed actuator: won't start, starts and stops intermittently, or requires pressure on a handle/lever to run

• 1 switch actuator assembly

• Disconnect power to the appliance; if applicable, shut off gas
• Access the switch area; note the actuator's orientation before removal
• Transfer any screws/clips from the old part as needed; avoid bending the lever or over-tightening hardware
• After reassembly, test operation before fully closing panels

This drive motor has been manufactured by Whirlpool and is intended to replace a worn or faulty part in dryers.The drive motor enables the dryer to work as intended because it rotates the drive belt, which in turn spins the drum. Without a working motor, the drum won't rotate efficiently or at all and the materials and clothes will not be dried properly. Thus, a broken drive motor should be immediately replaced. To ensure safety when working on this appliance, make sure it has been entirely disconnected from the power source and work gloves are worn to prevent injuries from occurring.This is a genuine OEM part sourced from the manufacturer and is compatible with various dryers that have been made by Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, and other brands. This part has been manufactured from high-quality, durable, non-corrosive materials to ensure the best possible quality and is only sold individually.
