Description

This key switch is the user-operated electrical selector that completes control circuits to select or enable functions on the appliance. It replaces a worn or failed switch so the control panel responds correctly to user input. What it does

• Acts as the user control that opens/closes electrical contact(s) when the key or selector is turned or pressed
• Restores proper selection of cycles or functions when a faulty switch prevents the control from registering input
• Common symptom: control knob/key feels loose, intermittently works, or the appliance fails to start or change modes
• Provides the direct electrical connection between the user control and the appliance control board or wiring

What's included

• One key switch

Install notes

• Disconnect power (unplug or switch off circuit breaker) before accessing the control area
• Access may require removing the console or panel—keep track of hardware and panel orientation
• Verify wiring location and routing; replace only the defective switch and reconnect matching terminals
