• Prevents the appliance from starting or running when the door is open
• Common symptom: appliance won't start, pauses mid-cycle, or shows door-related errors
• Works as the electrical contact inside the door latch assembly that completes the circuit

• Handle wiring connectors and terminals carefully; avoid forcing or bending terminals
