This snap-action door switch is a small interlock microswitch that detects when the door is opened or closed. Replacing a worn switch restores proper start/stop control and interior light behavior so the appliance only runs with the door fully shut.

• Senses door position and signals the control to allow or interrupt operation
• Helps control interior light and other door-dependent functions
• Common symptoms include: won't start with door closed, must press/hold door to run, or "door/close door" message
• May also present as an interior light that stays on or won't turn on

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Access the switch near the door latch/closure; note wire positions and transfer one at a time
• Ensure the actuator aligns with the latch and is not bent during install
• Verify switch continuity with a multimeter before reassembly; for microwaves, high-voltage hazards exist.

The Screw is an OEM component compatible with Whirlpool washing machines. This screw secures the rear panel onto the cabinet frame, ensuring a sturdy connection between housing components.  Proper installation is critical for the washer's structural integrity.

Causes of a bad screw include corrosion from repeated water exposure or stresses from years of use. Loosening can occur from vibrations weakening the threads over time. 

Symptoms of a bad screw include:

• Rear panel detaching from frame opening gaps
• Increased noise and vibrations from a compromised seal  
• Stress on other connections from improper mounting points
• Potential leak paths from openings near hoses or tub areas

This OEM Whirlpool replacement screw helps maintain a tight panel closure. It is compatible with additional brands like Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
