Description

This is the 4-position rotary temperature selector switch located behind the control knob. It restores precise temperature selection for the cycle when the original switch becomes worn, intermittent, or stuck on a single setting. What it does:

• Routes power through the correct contacts to deliver the selected temperature
• Provides four distinct temperature options via a rotary control
• Common symptoms include: temperature won't change, only one setting works, dead spots while turning, or a loose/stripped knob shaft
• Helps correct mismatched temperature vs. selection

What's included:

• 1 rotary temperature selector switch (4-position)

Install notes:

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Remove the console/cover and pull off the temperature knob to access the switch
• Transfer wires one at a time from the old switch to the new to maintain correct positions
• Align the D-shaft/locking tabs, secure the switch in the console, reinstall knob and panels, and test selection
