Description

This door switch detects when the appliance door is closed and signals the control so the unit can start or run. Replacing a faulty switch restores proper door-sensing and safe operation. What it does:

• Detects door open/closed status and sends the signal to the appliance control
• Prevents the unit from starting or running if the door is open
• Commonly linked to symptoms like the appliance not starting, not completing cycles, or lights/controls behaving incorrectly
• Works as the safety interlock for door-dependent functions

What's included:

• One door switch

Install notes:

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Match connector style and mounting alignment to the original switch before final installation
• Handle the switch and wiring gently to avoid damage to terminals or harnesses
