• Opens/closes the circuit to the control or power path
• Common symptoms: won't start, must press/hold door to run, stops when the door is jiggled, intermittent operation
• Helps prevent nuisance shutdowns caused by a weak or failing switch

What's included: 1 safety interlock switch Install notes:

• Disconnect power before servicing; high voltage may be present in some appliances
• Access the switch at the latch/interlock bracket; note wire positions
• Move connectors one at a time and match the original NO/NC orientation
• Ensure the actuator aligns with the latch and the switch is firmly secured before testing
