Dishwasher Door Switch Kit

The Whirlpool brand encompasses a range of subsidiaries including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The Latch Switch Kit is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement part designed to enhance the safety of your Whirlpool dishwasher. This kit contains two microswitches and a wiring harness, which helps to ensure the dishwasher does not operate with the door open. A malfunctioning door switch can cause the dishwasher to fail to start, even if the door is closed.

The kit operates by confirming that the dishwasher door is securely closed, which then allows the dishwasher to begin its cycle. For safety, it is advised to disconnect the dishwasher from power or turn off the home circuit breaker before installation. This genuine OEM part is built for compatibility, dependability, and long-lasting performance. It fits a variety of Whirlpool brand models, including those from Crosley, Estate, Kenmore, Kitchen Aid, Maytag, and Roper.

Common issues this part addresses include the dishwasher failing to start.
