Description

This replacement door switch restores the door-open/closed sensing that lets the appliance start and run safely. It provides a direct, OEM-style electrical connection so the unit detects door position reliably. What it does

• Acts as the electrical sensor that tells the appliance when the door is closed so cycles can begin.
• Prevents operation when the door is open, addressing no-start or intermittent start symptoms tied to door detection.
• Completes or interrupts the control circuit depending on door position.
• Fits into the door/latch area and interfaces with the factory wiring harness.

What's included

• One replacement door switch

Install notes

• Disconnect power before accessing door or control components to avoid shock or injury.
• Handle connectors gently; match wiring harness orientation and secure mounting screws to factory torque.
