Description

This rod-style door switch actuator moves the door-mounted switch striker to signal open/closed door positions, restoring proper door-sensing and interior light functions. It's a small replacement part that helps the appliance detect door position reliably. What it does:

• Engages the door switch when the door closes so the appliance recognizes a closed door
• Allows the interior light to turn on/off based on door position
• Prevents intermittent door-open errors and related operation interruptions
• Works with the door latch/switch assembly to ensure consistent door sensing

What's included: One rod-style door switch actuator. Install notes:

• Disconnect power before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Access may require removing the door trim or inner panel—keep fasteners organized
• Align the rod with the switch actuator and door bracket; verify smooth movement before reassembly
