This lid switch is the washer's safety interlock. It detects when the lid is closed so the machine can agitate and spin, and cuts power when the lid is opened to stop operation and enhance user safety.

• Monitors lid position and allows agitation/spin only when the lid is closed
• Interrupts motor operation if the lid opens during a cycle
• Common failure symptoms: washer won't start or spin, fills but stalls, stops intermittently, or displays "lid open" alerts
• Restores proper cycle progression and safety shutoff when replaced

• Disconnect power and water supply before servicing
• Access the switch from under the top panel/console per your model's procedure
• Release the old switch, move the harness to the new switch, and secure wiring away from moving parts
• Ensure the lid closes and actuates the switch before reassembly and test run

The Compressor Overload and Start Relay is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It plays a crucial role in starting the refrigerator’s compressor and protecting it from electrical overloads.

Over time, these components can fail due to electrical wear, overheating, or repeated cycling. This can cause the refrigerator to malfunction or stop working altogether.

Symptoms of a bad compressor overload and start relay include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly
• Clicking noises from the back of the refrigerator
• The compressor not running
• Overheating of the refrigerator

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

• Confirms the door latch is fully engaged and enables spin
• Prevents the drum from spinning when the door is not locked
• Common failure symptoms: won't spin or stops before high-speed spin; door/lock light doesn't come on; intermittent spin or door/lock error

• Disconnect power (and turn off water) before servicing
• Access the door latch assembly; remove the door boot clamp if required
• Transfer wires to the new switch one at a time; secure the switch in the latch housing
• Reassemble, verify the door locks, and run a spin test

This door-activated light switch controls the interior lamp in your refrigerator. Replace a worn or sticking switch to restore dependable lighting and prevent the bulb from staying on and warming the compartment when the door is closed.

• Opens and closes the light circuit as the door is opened and closed
• Helps prevent the light from staying on with the door shut
• Common symptoms: interior light won't turn on, stays on with the door closed, or works intermittently

• Access the console/top to release and remove the switch
• Transfer wire connectors and the pressure hose one at a time; ensure the hose is seated fully and not cracked, kinked, or obstructed
• Do not adjust any calibration screws; mount in the same orientation and reassemble

This capacitor stores and releases electrical energy to help a motor or compressor start and run smoothly. Replacing a weak or failed capacitor can restore proper startup, reduce humming, and improve overall cooling performance.

• Provides the phase shift and torque boost needed for AC motors to start
• Stabilizes motor operation during run for consistent performance
• Common symptoms of failure: motor/compressor hums but won't start, intermittent starting, reduced cooling/airflow
• Visual clues include a swollen/bulging top or leaking oil residue
• Contribute to breaker trips or overheating when degraded

• Disconnect power and safely discharge the old capacitor before handling
• Photograph wiring and transfer leads to the matching terminals on the new capacitor; match microfarad (µF) and voltage ratings to the original
• Mount securely; avoid contact with sharp edges or moving parts
• Check the motor/compressor and wiring for additional faults

This compressor-mounted start device combines the start relay and overload protector. It helps the compressor start reliably and safeguards it from overheating, supporting consistent refrigerator cooling performance. What it does:

• Provides the initial boost to start the compressor, then disengages once it's running
• Protects the compressor circuit by opening if current draw or temperature is too high
• Common symptoms of failure: refrigerator/freezer warm, compressor won't start, repeated clicking, brief humming then shutoff, intermittent cooling
• Restores normal compressor starts when the original device has failed

• One TSD-2 compressor start device assembly

• Disconnect power before service; work in a dry area and follow manufacturer safety guidance
• Access the compressor compartment and note wire positions/terminal layout before removal
• Pull off the old device; push the new device fully onto the compressor pins; transfer wires one at a time to matching terminals
• If your model uses a run capacitor or retaining clip, move and reconnect them exactly as originally configured

This broken belt switch monitors drive belt tension and cuts power to the motor if the belt snaps or slips. Replacing a faulty switch restores proper start/run operation and maintains the dryer's built-in safety shutoff. What it does:

• Monitors belt tension through the idler mechanism
• Opens the motor circuit if the belt is broken or loses tension
• Helps prevent the motor from running when the drum isn't turning
• Failure symptoms include: dryer won't start, stops soon after pressing Start, or no motor sound while controls have power

• Includes 1 broken belt switch

• Disconnect power; turn off gas supply for gas models
• Access the switch near the belt/idler area; many models require removing the front panel and drum
• Note wire locations; move connectors to the new switch and secure in the original orientation
• Inspect belt and idler for wear; ensure correct belt routing/tension before reassembly

The Water Level Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool washers. It is responsible for monitoring and controlling the water level during the wash cycle, ensuring the appropriate amount of water is used for each load.

A bad water level switch can occur due to electrical issues, component failure, or physical damage. If you notice problems such as incorrect water levels, overflowing, or insufficient water in your washer, it may indicate a problem with the water level switch.

Symptoms of a bad water level switch include:

• Incorrect water levels, either too high or too low
• Washer overflows or fails to fill with water
• Insufficient water for proper cleaning or rinsing

Replace your faulty water level switch with this genuine OEM part to restore your washer. 

This Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
 

This is the washer's water level switch that senses tub level via air pressure and provides five selectable fill settings. Replacing a failed switch restores accurate filling and lets the cycle advance properly through wash, rinse, and spin.

• Monitors air pressure from the tub to detect actual water level
• Controls the inlet valves to start/stop filling at the selected setting
• Signals the timer/control to begin agitation and advance the cycle once full
• Common symptoms: overfilling or water keeps running, stops filling too soon or won't fill, inconsistent water levels, cycle won't advance due to incorrect level detection

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing
• Access the control console; remove the selector knob/dial and panel as needed
• Note wire locations (take a photo), move the harness, and transfer the pressure hose; ensure the hose is clear and firmly seated
• Securely mount the new switch, reassemble the console/knob, restore utilities, and test each fill level

This water level pressure switch senses tub water level and signals the control to stop filling and advance the cycle. Replacing a failed switch restores proper fill shut-off and allows the washer to move to wash, drain, and spin.

• Detects water level via air pressure in the attached hose from the tub air dome
• Signals the timer/control to close inlet valves at the selected fill level
• Enables agitation and spin only when the level is appropriate or the tub is empty
• Typical symptoms of a failed switch include overfilling or underfilling, continuous filling, cycle not advancing, or no spin

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing
• Access the switch in the control console or top panel; note wire locations for reassembly
• Transfer the pressure hose and wire connectors to the new switch one at a time; ensure the hose is clear, not kinked or cracked, and fits snugly
• After installation, run a quick fill test to ensure proper shut-off and cycle progression
