Description

This normally closed pushbutton switch controls an on/off circuit in the appliance. Replacing a worn switch restores reliable light shutoff and interlock response so the unit behaves correctly when the button or door/plunger is pressed.

• NC operation: circuit is closed at rest and opens when the button is pressed
• Commonly used for door/light or interlock "off" functions in compatible assemblies
• Symptoms can include: light stays on with door closed, light won't turn on, unit won't start because door isn't detected, or intermittent operation
• Helps ensure consistent, repeatable switch actuation

What's included: 1 pushbutton switch Install notes:

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Note/photograph wire locations; move wires to the same terminals on the new switch
• Mount securely and align the actuator with the button or door plunger
• Restore power and test for proper operation before reassembly
