Description

Angular magnetic sensor that detects when a door or panel is closed and tells the appliance control. Replacing a worn or failed sensor restores reliable door-sensing so cycles, lights, and safety features respond correctly. What it does:

• Detects the magnet/strike position and signals the control board that the door or panel is closed.
• Allows the control to enable or disable functions tied to door position (cycles, interior lights, locks).
• Common symptoms it can fix: appliance won't start, door-related error codes, interior light not responding, or door lock not engaging.
• Intermittent or failed sensors can cause erratic operation or prevent normal cycle starts.

What's included: One magnetic sensor. Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Remove and replace the sensor in the same orientation; ensure the magnet/strike aligns with the sensor for reliable operation.
• Handle the sensor and connector carefully; avoid bending contacts or pulling on wires.
