Description

This cycle selector switch controls the washer's cycle selection, letting the timer and controls know which wash program to run. Replacing a worn switch restores reliable cycle selection and predictable machine behavior. What it does

• Selects the active wash cycle and sends the selection signal to the timer/control assembly
• Ensures the washer follows the chosen program (wash, rinse, spin) in the correct sequence
• Common symptoms of a failing switch: washer won't change cycles, cycle knob feels loose or spins freely, machine starts the wrong cycle, or no response when selecting a cycle
• Matches original function and mounting for direct replacement when this exact part is specified

What's included

• One cycle selector switch

Install notes

• Disconnect power (unplug or switch off breaker) before starting any work
