Whirlpool WP31986601B Switch, Rocker (Blk) OEM Part

Replaced switches

Switched it out.

Being as switch was already broken I did not have to remove control panel cover. There was enough wire to pull out of slot to be able to simply switch out the switches, the new one snapped right in. Took about 5 minutes. AppliancePartsPros.com was the only supplier I found that exactly matched the electrical specs from my broken switch.

Replacement. Please note, the replacement part available only comes in the color black. We needed a grey switch and subsequently, we painted it to match existing. The part does not fit exactly in the opening. The original had square corners, the replacement has rounded corners, Therefore, a very slight opening existed at the corners. (about 1/16"). The part works fine, just a slight deviation from original. No instructions came with the part.
