Description

This replacement off-position switch restores reliable on/off control for the appliance's control assembly, letting the unit fully power down when set to the off position. Simple swap restores normal power control and user safety. What it does:

• Replaces the control panel's off-position switch so the appliance can be turned completely off.
• Resolves symptoms like the appliance not powering down, intermittent shutdowns, or controls that don't respond when switched off.
• Connects using the existing wire terminals or plug-in connector—matches the original switch location and function.
• Provides a direct, mechanical off position to stop electrical flow to the associated circuit.

What's included: One switch. Install notes:

• Always disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before starting any repair.
• Access requires removing the control panel or console; note connector orientation before disconnecting.
• Inspect wire terminals for corrosion or damage and replace/repair wiring if needed before installing the new switch.
