Description

This cycle switch controls and redirects power to the washer's/dryer's timer or motor circuits so the appliance advances through its programmed cycles. It restores proper cycle selection and progression when the knob does not change settings. What it does:

• Routes electrical signals to the correct cycle/timer contacts so selected programs run.
• Commonly replaced when cycles won't advance, the selector won't engage, or the control knob feels loose or unresponsive.
• Helps resolve intermittent operation or failure to start specific wash/dry functions tied to cycle position.
• Matches OEM function for reliable replacement of the selector switching stage.

What's included: One cycle switch as shown. Install notes:

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock—electrical expertise recommended.
• Verify knob/timer compatibility and orientation before final assembly.
• Handle gently and avoid bending terminals; test function before reassembling the cabinet.
