Whirlpool 279782 Genuine OEM Laundry Appliance Door Switch Kit

The Laundry Appliance Door Switch Kit prevents the dryer or washer from starting if the door or lid is open. This easy-to-install kit may include multiple parts, so please refer to your parts diagram for a complete list of included components. If your appliance does not start as expected or if the door will not close, replacing this part may resolve the issue. Replacing this part will require basic hand tools, such as a multi-screwdriver and putty knife. It also requires minor disassembly of the appliance and some novice repair experience. Before installing this high-quality replacement part, remember to unplug the appliance or shut off the house circuit breaker for safety.

Helpful Tip: We also recommend using affresh® Washing Machine Cleaner* (item W10501250) once a month to help reduce odor-causing residue that can build up in your washing machine's drain without proper care. *affresh® brand products are owned and distributed by Whirlpool Corporation.
