XPARTCO HVAC Capacitor Contractor Pack — 18-Piece Assortment Kit (Dual + Single Run)
The XPARTCO HVAC Capacitor Contractor Pack bundles the seven most commonly needed dual run capacitor ratings, plus two single run capacitor ratings, into a single 18-piece kit, so a technician can carry one box instead of restocking capacitors between jobs. Each dual run capacitor combines two capacitors into one round, three-terminal can — one rated for the compressor, one for the condenser fan motor — the standard design used across the vast majority of residential and light commercial split systems, window units, and heat pumps. The single run capacitors are 2-terminal units sized for one motor circuit, commonly used on standalone condenser fan motors, pool pumps, and other single-phase motor equipment.
The mix in this kit is weighted toward the ratings that fail most often in the field: 35/5, 40/5, and 45/5 MFD capacitors cover the majority of residential 1.5–3.5 ton systems and are included in higher quantities, while 50/5, 60/5, 70/5, and 80/5 MFD round out coverage for larger residential and light commercial compressors. All fourteen capacitors are rated 450VAC, so each one is a safe upgrade replacement regardless of whether the original equipment was speced at 370V, 440V, or 450V.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO HVAC Capacitor Contractor Pack is an 18-piece assortment covering the seven dual run capacitor ratings most commonly replaced on residential and light commercial AC systems and heat pumps, plus two single run capacitor ratings for fan motors and similar equipment: 35/5 (×2), 40/5 (×4), 45/5 (×4), 50/5 (×1), 60/5 (×1), 70/5 (×1), 80/5 (×1), single-run 5 (×2), and single-run 7.5 (×2) MFD, all rated 450VAC, round. Built for technicians who want to stock a truck once instead of reordering capacitors mid-week. Capacitors store a dangerous electrical charge even after power is disconnected — always discharge before handling.

Compatibility
This kit's capacitors are universal replacements compatible with central air conditioners, heat pumps, and condensing units across all major HVAC brands, wherever the original capacitor's MFD rating matches one included in this kit and its voltage rating is 450V or lower (370V and 440V equipment included, since a higher voltage rating is always a safe upgrade).
Note: The MFD (microfarad) rating must match the original capacitor exactly on both the compressor and fan sides — do not substitute a different MFD value. If a job calls for a rating not included in this kit (such as a 25/5, 30/5, or 55/5), each individual dual run capacitor rating is also available separately in our HVAC capacitor line. Contact our support team if you'd like help confirming which rating a specific job needs.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Danger — Capacitors Store A Dangerous Electrical Charge Shut off power to the outdoor unit at the disconnect box and at the breaker before beginning any capacitor replacement. A capacitor stores an electrical charge even after power has been disconnected, and that charge can deliver a serious or fatal shock. Before touching any terminal, discharge the capacitor fully: on a dual run capacitor, short each pair of terminals together (C-to-Fan, C-to-Herm, and Fan-to-Herm); on a single run capacitor, short the two terminals together. Use an insulated-handle screwdriver, or a proper capacitor discharge tool with a resistor. Never short the terminals with a bare metal tool held with your bare hand.
⚠️ Match The Rating Before Installing — Photograph Wiring First Confirm the failed capacitor's MFD rating on both the compressor and fan sides, and select the matching piece from this kit — the rating printed on the old capacitor's can is the reference, not the equipment's tonnage. Photograph the wiring on the old capacitor's terminals before disconnecting anything; terminals are typically labeled C (Common), Herm or Comp (compressor), and Fan. Remove the mounting strap holding the old capacitor, disconnect each wire, and install the replacement from this kit in the same mounting position, reconnecting each wire to the matching terminal. Restore power and confirm the compressor and fan both start promptly and run smoothly. Tools needed: insulated-handle screwdriver or capacitor discharge tool, nut driver, work gloves, safety glasses.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are 35/5, 40/5, and 45/5 included in higher quantities than the others?
These three ratings cover the size range used on the largest share of residential split systems in the field, so they're the ratings most likely to come up repeatedly across a week of service calls. The larger ratings (50/5 through 80/5) still come up regularly but less often, which is why the kit includes one of each rather than duplicates.
What if a job needs a rating that isn't in this kit, like 25/5 or 55/5?
Every rating in this kit — both dual run and single run — is also sold individually, so you can pick up less common values as needed without buying another full kit. Contact our support team if you want help identifying which individual rating a specific job calls for.
Can I use a 450V capacitor from this kit to replace an original 370V or 440V capacitor?
Yes. Voltage rating is a ceiling, not an exact match requirement — a capacitor rated for a higher voltage than the original works safely and often lasts longer under the same electrical stress. What you can't do is go the other direction, so every capacitor in this kit being 450V means it's a safe fit anywhere the original was rated 370V, 440V, or 450V.
Does the MFD rating need to match exactly, or is there some tolerance?
Match the rating on both the compressor and fan side as closely as possible to the original — these capacitors carry a ±5% manufacturing tolerance, but that's not the same as intentionally substituting a different rated value. Always select the kit piece whose printed MFD rating matches what was on the failed capacitor.
Is this a genuine OEM kit?
This is a universal replacement kit rather than a brand-specific OEM product. Because dual run capacitors are a standardized component defined by their electrical specifications rather than their manufacturer, each capacitor in this kit is a correct replacement for any unit's original capacitor sharing the same rating — regardless of which HVAC brand originally installed it.

WB24T10029 Genuine OEM GE Range Surface Burner Control Switch
The WB24T10029 is a genuine GE OEM surface burner control switch — also called an infinite switch — for the 6-inch surface element on GE, Hotpoint, and select Kenmore electric ranges and cooktops. This switch is what the burner knob actually turns: it doesn't have fixed positions like a light switch, but instead cycles the element's power on and off at varying ratios as you rotate the knob, which is why it's called an "infinite" switch — it lets you dial in a continuous range of heat levels rather than a handful of fixed steps. Turn the knob to a low setting and the switch feeds the element power only briefly out of every few seconds; turn it toward high and the element stays powered for most of that same window.
This switch is rated for 1,500 watts and controls a 6-inch surface element, drawing 4.4–7.4A at 240V. Over years of use the internal contacts wear, pit, or weld from repeated on/off cycling, and moisture from boilovers or spills can corrode the switch body and cause it to short internally. A worn switch produces predictable symptoms: the burner won't turn on or off at all, it sticks at one heat level no matter where the knob is turned, or it works only intermittently. It directly replaces 769696, AP2024076, AH236754, EA236754, and PS236754. As a genuine OEM part, the WB24T10029 is manufactured by GE to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.
Quick Answer
The WB24T10029 Genuine OEM GE Range Surface Burner Control Switch fixes GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore electric ranges where a surface burner won't turn on or off, stays at one heat level regardless of the knob setting, or works intermittently. This is the 6-inch element switch — 1,500W, 4.4–7.4A at 240V. Replaces 769696, AP2024076, AH236754, EA236754, PS236754. Not the same switch as the WB24T10025 used on the 8-inch element — check which burner is affected before ordering.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Surface burner won't turn on at all when the knob is turned
Burner won't turn off — stays hot even with the knob at the off position
Burner stuck at one heat level regardless of where the knob is set
No ability to adjust temperature — always full blast or always low
Intermittent burner operation — works sometimes, not others
Burner cycles unpredictably, on and off faster or slower than the knob setting suggests
Knob feels loose, gritty, or doesn't click through its normal range of motion
Burner failure that followed a boilover or liquid spill on the control panel
Cross Reference Information

Compatibility
This surface burner control switch is compatible with select GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore electric ranges and cooktops using a 6-inch surface element, across a very wide range of model families, including:
GE JB, JBP, JCBP, and JBS series electric ranges
GE RB and RA series electric ranges
Hotpoint RB series electric ranges (select GE-built models)
Select Kenmore electric ranges built on the GE platform
This switch fits several thousand model variants across GE's electric range lineup, including common families such as JB250, JB350, JB500, JB600 through JB870, JBP10 through JBP99, JCBP35 through JCBP85, JBS07, JBS27, JBS55, JBS60, JBS86, RA724, RB536, RB540, RB560, RB585, RB720, RB740, RB757, RB758, RB787, RB790, RB798, and RB800 — each spanning many color and revision suffixes. Because the model list is extremely long, always verify your full model number against your range's data label, located inside the storage drawer or along the back panel, before ordering.
Note — 6-inch element switch only: GE ranges typically pair a smaller 6-inch element with a larger 8-inch element, and each uses its own dedicated infinite switch. The WB24T10029 is the switch for the 6-inch element. The larger 8-inch element on the same range uses the separate WB24T10025 switch (replaces 769692, AP2024072, AH236750, EA236750, PS236750) instead. The two switches look nearly identical and are easy to mix up when ordering — before you buy, confirm which specific burner has failed and measure or check the element size. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure which switch you need.

Installation Notes
⚠️ 240V Circuit — Unplug Range Or Shut Off Breaker Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning — this switch operates on a 240V circuit, and working on it while powered presents a serious shock hazard. Wear work gloves. Access is from the front of the control panel: remove the burner knob (it typically pulls straight off, though some models use a small retaining clip or screw), then remove the screws securing the control panel or backsplash to reach the switch from behind. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting anything — this switch has multiple terminals and getting one out of order will affect either the wrong burner or its heat-cycling behavior. Disconnect the wire terminals from the old switch, noting or labeling each one, then remove the mounting screws or clips holding the switch to the panel and pull it free. Install the new WB24T10029 in the same orientation, reconnect each wire terminal exactly as labeled, and secure the mounting hardware. Reinstall the control panel or backsplash, press the knob back onto the shaft, restore power, and test the burner through its full range from low to high to confirm smooth, continuous heat adjustment. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, wire terminal pliers (helpful but optional), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need the WB24T10029 or the WB24T10025?
It depends entirely on which burner has failed. Most GE ranges pair a smaller 6-inch element with a larger 8-inch element, and each has its own dedicated infinite switch. The WB24T10029 is for the 6-inch element; the WB24T10025 is for the 8-inch element. Look at your range and identify which specific burner is misbehaving, then measure that element's diameter if you're not sure — the two switches are not interchangeable even though they look nearly identical side by side.
What does "infinite switch" mean, and why does mine only work at one setting?
An infinite switch lets you dial in a continuous range of heat rather than a few fixed positions, by rapidly cycling the element's power on and off at a ratio set by the knob — low settings get short power pulses, high settings get long ones. When the internal contacts wear or weld together from years of cycling, the switch can get stuck feeding constant power (burner always hot) or stop switching at all (burner always off), regardless of where the knob is turned. That "stuck at one heat level" complaint is the classic symptom of a failing infinite switch.
A spill got into the control panel and now the burner won't turn off. Is that the switch?
Very likely, yes. Liquid boilovers and spills are one of the most common causes of infinite switch failure — moisture gets into the switch body, corrodes or bridges the internal contacts, and the switch can end up stuck feeding power continuously even with the knob turned to off. If you suspect this, shut off power to the range immediately at the breaker rather than relying on the knob, since a shorted switch may not respond to it at all.
My burner works but only at high heat no matter where I turn the knob. Could it be something else?
The infinite switch is the most common cause, but it's worth a quick visual check first. Make sure the knob itself is properly seated on its shaft — a knob that's been pushed on at the wrong angle, or whose shaft has worn round, can make it feel like the switch isn't responding even though it is. If the knob is properly seated and turns smoothly through its full range but the heat output doesn't change, the switch's internal contacts have failed and replacement is the correct fix.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by GE to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original 1,500W, 4.4–7.4A, 240V electrical rating and the heat-cycling behavior of the infinite switch originally installed for the 6-inch element in your GE, Hotpoint, or Kenmore range.

XPARTCO 3406107 Dryer Door Switch Replaces WP3406107
The XPARTCO 3406107 is an aftermarket replacement door switch for Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, and KitchenAid dryers. Mounted inside the upper corner of the front panel, this safety switch has a spring-loaded black tab that gets pressed in when the door closes. That contact tells the control board the door is shut, which is required before the dryer will start, and it also powers the interior drum light. Over time the switch's internal contacts wear out or the tab loses spring tension, and the dryer either won't start at all or runs with the door open — a safety condition the switch is specifically designed to prevent.
This is a three-wire SPDT (single pole, double throw) switch built to the same dimensions and mounting points as the original, and it's designed to remain compatible with older two-wire harnesses as well. Direct-fit aftermarket replacement, no wiring modifications needed.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 3406107 Dryer Door Switch fixes a dryer that won't start, runs with the door open, or has a dead interior light. Direct-fit replacement for OEM WP3406107. Classic symptom: pressing start does nothing until you push and hold the door shut, or the drum light never comes on.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer won't start even though the door is closed
Dryer runs with the door open (safety switch failure)
Interior drum light doesn't turn on
Door doesn't seem to latch or seal properly against the switch tab
Drum doesn't spin, or cycle stops intermittently
Touchpad or start button appears unresponsive

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the dryer or switch off its circuit breaker before beginning. The switch is mounted inside the upper corner of the front panel, so you'll need to remove the front panel or top panel per your model's service guide to access it. Disconnect the wire connector from the old switch, then remove the mounting screw(s) holding it in place. Install the new switch in the same position, reconnect the wire connector, and reinstall the panel. Before closing everything up, you can test the switch by pressing the black tab — you should feel spring resistance and hear or feel a distinct click. Restore power and confirm the dryer starts normally with the door closed and stops when the door is opened.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer won't start — is this the part I need?
This is one of the most common causes of a dryer that won't start even with the door closed. Try pressing the black tab on the switch by hand — if it feels loose, doesn't click, or offers no resistance, the switch has likely failed and needs replacement.
My dryer runs even with the door open — is that dangerous?
Yes, this indicates the door safety switch has failed in a way that no longer prevents operation with the door open, which is a safety hazard. Replace the switch promptly and avoid running the dryer with the door open in the meantime.
My dryer has a two-wire connector — will this three-wire switch still work?
Yes. This switch was redesigned to a three-wire configuration but remains compatible with older two-wire wiring harnesses, so it's a safe direct replacement regardless of which wire configuration your dryer currently has.
Does this switch also control the interior light?
Yes. This switch serves a dual function — it's the safety interlock that permits the dryer to run only with the door closed, and it also powers the interior drum light when the door is open.

WB24X25013 Genuine OEM GE Range Surface Burner Infinite Switch Replaces WB24X47186.
The WB24X25013 is a genuine GE OEM infinite control switch for a dual (bridge) surface element on GE, Hotpoint, and select Kenmore electric ranges — the kind of burner with an inner coil and an outer coil that can be run together for a large pot or as the inner coil alone for a small pan. Because it's governing two coil zones instead of one, this switch uses six terminal connections rather than the three or four found on a standard single-element infinite switch, and it mounts to the control panel with a distinctive figure-8 style shaft and two female mounting holes.
Like any infinite switch, it doesn't have fixed heat positions — instead it rapidly cycles power to the element(s) on and off at a ratio set by the knob, giving continuous heat adjustment from warm to high rather than a handful of steps. Rated for 240VAC at 15 amps. Over years of cycling, the internal contacts on a switch like this wear, pit, or weld together, and boilovers or spills can corrode the switch body and cause it to fail. A worn switch on a dual-element burner can produce an unusually wide symptom set: the whole burner may fail, or just the outer ring may stop responding while the inner coil still works, or the burner may stay on continuously regardless of the knob position. It directly replaces WB24X47186, 191D4774P005, AP5999509, PS11729102, EAP11729102, and 4464832. As a genuine OEM part, the WB24X25013 is manufactured by GE to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

The WB24X25013 Genuine OEM GE Range Surface Burner Infinite Switch fixes GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore electric ranges with a dual (bridge) element burner where the burner won't turn on or off, only the outer ring fails to work while the inner coil still heats, the burner stays on continuously, or heat can't be adjusted. Six-terminal switch, figure-8 shaft, 240VAC / 15A. Replaces WB24X47186, 191D4774P005, AP5999509, PS11729102, EAP11729102, 4464832. Not the same switch as a standard single-element infinite switch — this one is specific to dual/bridge burners with an inner and outer coil.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dual-element burner won't turn on at all when the knob is turned
Outer ring of a dual/bridge element won't activate while the inner coil still works
Burner won't turn off — stays hot even with the knob at the off position
Burner stuck at one heat level regardless of where the knob is set
No ability to adjust temperature — always full blast or always low
Intermittent burner operation — works sometimes, not others
Knob feels loose, gritty, or doesn't turn smoothly through its range
Burner failure that followed a boilover or liquid spill on the control panel

Installation Notes
⚠️ 240V Circuit — Unplug Range Or Shut Off Breaker Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning — this switch operates on a 240V circuit, and working on it while powered presents a serious shock hazard. Wear work gloves. Remove the burner knob (it typically pulls straight off, though some models use a small retaining clip) then remove the screws securing the control panel or backsplash to reach the switch from behind. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting anything — this is a six-terminal switch, and getting even one wire out of place can miswire the inner coil, the outer ring, or both. Label each wire as you remove it. Disconnect all six terminal connections from the old switch, then remove the mounting screws from the two mounting holes and pull the switch free from its figure-8 shaft opening. Install the new WB24X25013 in the same orientation, reconnect each of the six wires exactly as labeled, and secure the mounting hardware. Reinstall the control panel or backsplash, press the knob back onto the shaft, restore power, and test the burner at every knob position — confirm the inner coil and outer ring both activate correctly (together and, if your model supports it, with the outer ring switched off independently) before considering the repair complete. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, wire terminal pliers (helpful but optional), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my burner uses a dual-element switch like this one?
Look at the burner element itself: a dual (bridge) element has two distinct coil rings — a smaller inner coil and a larger outer ring — usually with a separate control or a knob position that lets you activate just the inner coil for a small pan or both rings together for a large pot. A standard single-ring element has only one coil and uses a simpler switch with fewer terminals. If your range has this two-ring burner design, the WB24X25013 (or the exact switch behind it) is the correct type — but always confirm your model number, since dual-element switches vary by range generation.
Only the outer ring of my dual burner doesn't work. Is it the switch or the element?
It could be either, and it's worth narrowing down before ordering. If the inner coil heats normally but the outer ring never activates at any knob position, check the outer ring element itself first — a broken element coil is a common and cheaper fix than a switch. If the outer ring element tests fine but the switch's six-terminal wiring specific to the outer coil circuit has failed or corroded, the infinite switch is the correct replacement.
Can I use a standard single-element infinite switch instead if this one is out of stock?
No. A standard single-element switch has fewer terminals and cannot correctly control the two separate coil zones of a dual (bridge) burner. Wiring a single-element switch into a dual-element circuit will leave one coil zone permanently uncontrolled or non-functional. Always order the six-terminal dual-element switch specified for your model.
What does "infinite switch" mean?
An infinite switch lets you dial in a continuous range of heat rather than a few fixed positions, by rapidly cycling the element's power on and off at a ratio set by the knob — low settings get short power pulses, high settings get long ones. When the internal contacts wear or weld together from years of cycling, the switch can get stuck feeding constant power (burner always hot) or stop switching at all (burner always off), regardless of where the knob is turned.
A spill got into the control panel and now the burner won't turn off. Is that the switch?
Very likely, yes. Liquid boilovers and spills are one of the most common causes of infinite switch failure — moisture gets into the switch body, corrodes or bridges the internal contacts, and the switch can end up stuck feeding power continuously even with the knob turned to off. If you suspect this, shut off power to the range immediately at the breaker rather than relying on the knob, since a shorted switch may not respond to it at all.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by GE to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original six-terminal wiring, figure-8 shaft, 240VAC/15A electrical rating, and dual-coil switching behavior of the infinite switch originally installed for the dual (bridge) element in your GE, Hotpoint, or Kenmore range.

XPARTCO WB24X10146 Microwave Door Switch
The XPARTCO WB24X10146 is an aftermarket replacement micro switch (also called a door interlock switch) compatible with a wide range of GE, Hotpoint, RCA, Kenmore, and Sears over-the-range and countertop microwaves. This is a "stand on" style normally-open (NO) interlock switch, identified by the internal designation KW3A-NO, that mounts near the door latch and only closes its circuit when the door is fully shut and latched. The control board reads this switch as part of a multi-switch safety interlock chain that confirms the door is secure before allowing the magnetron to energize.
When this switch fails, the microwave commonly won't start at all, trips a door-related error code, or in rare cases can allow the unit to run with the door not fully secured — which is a safety-relevant fault, not just a convenience one. It directly replaces WB24X10146, WB24X28941, MW-7100-33, AGE22794, AH1019163, AP3866977, 1166990, EA1019163, EAP1019163, PD00039881, PS1019163. Installs in 15–20 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WB24X10146 Microwave Door Switch fixes GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears microwaves that won't start, display a door-related error code, or have a door that doesn't reliably confirm as closed. Normally-open (NO) "stand on" interlock switch, rated 250VAC / 16A, with 0.187" (4.7mm) quick-connect terminals. Replaces WB24X10146, WB24X28941, MW-7100-33, AGE22794, AH1019163, AP3866977, 1166990, EA1019163, EAP1019163, PD00039881, PS1019163. Classic symptom: turntable light and display work, but pressing Start does nothing.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Microwave won't start when Start is pressed, even though the display and light work
Door-related error code or fault light on the display
Microwave randomly shuts off mid-cycle
Door feels like it isn't latching or registering as closed
Clicking sound from the door area with no response from the microwave
Intermittent operation that seems tied to how hard the door is closed
⚠ Safety-Relevant Component Door interlock switches are safety components that prevent the magnetron from energizing unless the door is fully closed and latched. Never bypass, jumper, or defeat a microwave door switch to "get it working" — doing so can allow microwave energy to leak while the door is open, which is a genuine radiation safety hazard. Always disconnect power before servicing, and replace all interlock switches in the chain if more than one shows signs of wear.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Microwave Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet, and for built-in/over-the-range units also switch off the dedicated circuit breaker — microwaves store high voltage in the capacitor even after unplugging. Remove the outer cabinet or control panel cover to access the door switch assembly near the latch mechanism. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting, since GE microwaves typically use two or three interlock switches wired in sequence and mixing up the connections can leave the unit unsafe to operate. Disconnect the quick-connect terminals from the old switch, noting which wire goes to which terminal. Remove the mounting screw(s) holding the switch to its bracket and remove the old switch. Install the new WB24X10146 in the same position and secure it with the mounting screw(s). Reconnect the terminals exactly as photographed. Reassemble the cabinet or panel, restore power, and test that the door registers correctly and the microwave starts normally. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver (for cabinet screws).
Frequently Asked Questions
My microwave's display and turntable light work, but it won't start — is this the part?
This is a classic symptom of a failed door interlock switch. The control board needs a confirmed "door closed and latched" signal from all switches in the interlock chain before it will energize the magnetron. If that signal is missing from even one switch, most GE microwaves will power up normally but refuse to start a cook cycle. Confirm with a multimeter continuity test on the suspect switch before ordering, since GE microwaves usually use more than one interlock switch.
Is this the same as the EXP499 or EXP497 microwave door switch?
No — while all three use similar 4.7mm terminals, they are different switches used in different microwave platforms and are not interchangeable. WB24X10146 is GE's own "stand on" KW3A-NO design. Always match by part number rather than terminal size or general appearance.
Is it safe to keep using the microwave if I suspect this switch is bad?
We'd recommend not continuing to use it until it's repaired. Door interlock switches exist specifically to prevent microwave energy from leaking out while the door is open or not fully latched. If a switch is failing intermittently, the microwave may seem to work sometimes, but that's not a reason to keep using it — replace the switch before further use, and never attempt to bypass or jumper an interlock switch.
How many interlock switches does my GE microwave have, and do I need to replace them all?
Most GE microwaves use two or three interlock switches wired in sequence (often a primary switch, a secondary/monitor switch, and sometimes a door sensing switch). You typically only need to replace the specific switch that's testing bad, but if one has failed from age or wear, the others are often not far behind — some technicians replace the full set at once to avoid a repeat repair call.

XPARTCO 3405-001034 Microwave Door Switch (Normally Open)
The XPARTCO 3405-001034 is an aftermarket replacement normally open (NO) microwave door interlock switch for select Samsung, Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore and other microwave ovens, replacing part 3405-001034. The switch detects when the door is fully closed and completes the safety circuit, so the microwave runs only when the door is shut. When it fails, the microwave may not start, may not heat, or may only run if you push or jiggle the door.
Microwaves often use more than one door switch, and each is sold individually. Check that the switch you are replacing is the normally open type and goes in the same position.
⚠️ Critical Safety Part — Switch Type And Position Must Match Exactly Door interlock switches work together as a safety system. Installing the wrong type (normally open vs. normally closed) or putting a switch in the wrong position can let the microwave run with the door open, a serious radiation hazard. Replace each switch with the exact same type in the exact same position, and test the microwave after replacement. If you are not qualified to service microwave ovens, use a trained technician.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Microwave And Beware Of The High Voltage Capacitor Unplug the microwave before starting and never operate it with the cabinet open. The high voltage capacitor can hold a lethal charge even after the microwave is unplugged. If your repair requires removing the outer cabinet, discharge the capacitor safely first, or have a qualified technician do the work.
⚠️ Photograph Switch Positions Before Removing Anything The switches are accessed at the door latch assembly. Before disconnecting anything, photograph each switch and its wiring, and move the wires one at a time so each goes back to the correct terminal. Make sure the actuator lines up with the latch and the switch clicks freely. After reassembly, test the microwave with a microwave-safe cup of water.

XPARTCO EXP480 Microwave Door Switch (NC - NO) Normally Closed / Open
The XPARTCO EXP480 is a universal replacement door interlock switch for microwave ovens and microwave/oven combination units. This is a critical safety component: microwave door interlock switches exist specifically to cut power to the magnetron the instant the door opens, preventing any possibility of microwave radiation escaping the cavity while the door isn't fully closed and latched. This switch combines both a normally closed (NC) and normally open (NO) contact set in a single body, matching the dual-contact design used across a wide range of microwave door latch mechanisms.
Rated 16A maximum current, 250VAC maximum voltage, with an IP40 protection rating. Over time, these switch contacts can wear, pit, or fuse together from repeated cycling and the electrical load they carry every time the door opens and closes. A failing interlock switch typically shows up as a microwave that won't start at all, a display that works but the unit won't heat, or in less common but more serious cases, a switch that has fused shut and continues carrying current even when it shouldn't.

Compatibility
This door switch is a universal replacement compatible with convection microwave ovens, grill microwave ovens, microwave/oven combination units, and solo microwave ovens across many brands, wherever the original switch matches this NC/NO contact configuration and electrical rating.
Note: Microwave door interlock systems typically use two or three separate switches working together (primary interlock, monitor/secondary switch, and sometimes a third safety switch), and not all of them share this same NC/NO configuration. Confirm which specific switch position has failed on your microwave, and match the contact configuration and electrical rating exactly — never substitute a switch with a different configuration. Always verify your full model number before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure which switch your microwave needs.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Danger — Never Bypass A Door Interlock Switch Unplug the microwave before beginning any work, and if it's a built-in or over-the-range unit, shut off power at the breaker as well. Microwave ovens also contain a high-voltage capacitor that can retain a dangerous electrical charge even after the unit is unplugged — avoid touching internal components near the capacitor and magnetron. Door interlock switches are a critical safety system: they exist specifically to cut power the instant the door opens, preventing microwave radiation from escaping the cavity. Never operate a microwave with an interlock switch disconnected, bypassed, or jumpered, even temporarily — doing so can expose you and others to microwave radiation. If you are not fully comfortable working inside a microwave's internal compartment, have a qualified appliance technician perform this repair instead.
⚠️ Photograph Wiring Before Disconnecting — Match The Failed Switch Exactly Wear work gloves. Remove the outer cabinet or access panel per your model's service instructions to reach the door switch assembly, typically located near the door latch mechanism. Photograph the wiring on the old switch before disconnecting anything, and confirm you're replacing the correct switch position if your microwave uses multiple interlock switches. Disconnect the wire terminals from the old switch, remove its mounting screws, and pull it free. Install the new EXP480 in the same position, reconnect each wire terminal to its original position, and secure the mounting screws. Reinstall the cabinet or access panel. Restore power and test that the microwave starts normally with the door closed, and — this is the critical safety check — confirm the unit stops heating immediately when the door is opened during a test run with a cup of water. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My microwave stopped working. How do I know if it's actually a door switch and not something else?
A common pattern is a microwave where the display and buttons respond normally, but pressing start does nothing, or the unit hums without heating — this points toward the door interlock circuit rather than the control board. Since these switches also serve a critical safety function, if you suspect a fault in this area, it's best to have it properly diagnosed and replaced rather than working around the symptom.
Is it safe to just disconnect a faulty interlock switch so the microwave will run?
No — this is not safe under any circumstances. Door interlock switches exist specifically to cut power to the magnetron the instant the door opens, preventing microwave radiation from escaping. Bypassing, disconnecting, or jumpering one of these switches removes that protection and can expose you and anyone nearby to microwave radiation, even if the microwave otherwise appears to run normally. Always replace a faulty switch with a correctly rated new one rather than working around it.
My microwave trips the breaker whenever I open the door. What does that mean?
This can indicate that one of the door switches — often the one that should open when the door opens — has fused or welded its contacts shut from repeated electrical stress, so it continues carrying current when it shouldn't. This is a genuine safety concern and the affected switch should be replaced promptly rather than continuing to use the microwave.
My microwave uses more than one door switch. How do I know which one to replace?
Most microwaves use two or three separate interlock switches working together, and they don't always share the same contact configuration. Check your appliance's parts diagram or the physical switch you're replacing to confirm it matches this NC/NO combination design before ordering, and always test or verify function with a multimeter if you're uncertain which specific switch has failed.

XPARTCO 3406105 Dryer Door Switch Replaces WP3406105
The XPARTCO 3406105 is an aftermarket replacement dryer door switch assembly compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool-family dryers including Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Roper, Estate, Crosley, Inglis, Admiral, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, and Norge. The door switch is a safety component mounted inside the dryer cabinet near the door opening. When the door is closed, the door strike depresses the switch actuator, completing the circuit and allowing the dryer to start and run. When the door is opened, the switch opens the circuit and stops the dryer. On models with a broken belt detection circuit, the door switch also plays a role in belt failure detection. A failed door switch causes the dryer to either not start at all or to run continuously with the door open.
This is a Single Pole, Double Throw (SPDT) 3-wire switch with stainless steel terminals and a heat-resistant housing. It measures 1-3/4" L x 1-5/8" W x 1-1/4" H with a 7-3/4" wiring harness.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Disconnect power (and shut off gas for gas dryers) before beginning. The door switch is located inside the dryer cabinet near the door opening, typically mounted in the front panel or top panel. Access it by inserting a putty knife under the top panel to release the spring clips and lift the top, then release the front panel. Locate the old door switch — it is a small rectangular component with a spring-loaded actuator button. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting. Disconnect the 3-wire harness from the old switch. Release the switch from its mounting bracket by pressing the retaining tabs and pulling the switch free, or unscrewing the mounting screw. Snap the new 3406105 switch into the mounting bracket and reconnect the 3-wire harness in the same positions. Reassemble the front and top panels, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm the dryer starts, stops when the door is opened, and runs normally. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the dryer door switch do?
The door switch is a safety component that monitors whether the dryer door is open or closed. When the door is closed, the door strike depresses the switch actuator, completing the electrical circuit and signaling the control board that it is safe to run. When the door is opened, the actuator releases, opening the circuit and stopping the dryer immediately. On many Whirlpool-family dryers, the 3-wire SPDT switch also provides a secondary circuit used for broken belt detection — one of the switch's contacts is part of the motor start circuit, while the other is part of a safety cutoff circuit.
How do I test the door switch with a multimeter?
Unplug the dryer and disconnect the switch from the harness. Set your multimeter to continuity mode. The 3406105 is an SPDT switch with three terminals — typically labeled Common (C), Normally Open (NO), and Normally Closed (NC). With the actuator button not pressed (door open position), you should read continuity between C and NC, and no continuity between C and NO. With the actuator button pressed (door closed position), you should read continuity between C and NO, and no continuity between C and NC. Any deviation from this pattern confirms the switch has failed.
What is the difference between 3406105 and 3406104?
The 3406104 was the original part number, and the 3406105 (later updated to WP3406105) is the current replacement that superseded it. They are the same door switch and are fully interchangeable. The 3405104 and 3405105 are also cross-references for this same switch from earlier production. If your dryer's documentation or old switch label shows any of these numbers, the 3406105 is the correct current replacement.
Why does this switch have 3 wires when my old switch only had 2?
The WP3406105 is an SPDT (Single Pole, Double Throw) switch with 3 terminals — Common, Normally Open, and Normally Closed. Some older dryer models used a simpler 2-wire switch, but the 3-wire WP3406105 is the updated replacement that works on both older and newer models. On models that originally had a 2-wire switch, only two of the three terminals are used — the third is simply left unconnected. Follow your model's wiring diagram or take a photo of the original switch's wire connections before removing it.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured from durable plastic and metal with stainless steel terminals to match the dimensions and electrical specifications of the original WP3406105 door switch assembly.
