XPARTCO W10195039 Dishwasher Float Switch
The XPARTCO W10195039 is an aftermarket replacement float switch for Whirlpool-built dishwashers sold under the Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Kenmore, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana and related brand names. The float switch is the safety device that shuts off the water fill valve if the water level gets too high before the timed fill cycle ends, so a failed float can mean overfilling or a dishwasher that won't fill properly.
This is a direct-fit aftermarket replacement for the original Whirlpool float switch, which is sold as W10195039 and WPW10195039. Float problems can look like valve or control problems, so check the float for a stuck or damaged action before replacing it.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO W10195039 Float Switch fixes a Whirlpool-built dishwasher that overfills, leaks from too much water, or won't fill because the float is stuck, damaged, or no longer switching. It is also listed as WPW10195039. Classic symptom: water keeps filling past the normal level, or the dishwasher won't fill and the float looks stuck or cracked.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dishwasher overfills or the water level gets too high
Water leaking from too much water in the tub
Dishwasher won't fill because the float switch is stuck or failed
Float is cracked, broken, or doesn't move freely

Installation Notes
⚠️ Disconnect Power and Shut Off the Water Unplug the dishwasher or switch off its circuit breaker, and turn off the water supply before beginning. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Follow your model's service guide to reach the float switch, and note the position of each wire connector before disconnecting it. Install the new float switch in the same position, reconnect the wires, and check that the float moves freely before closing the dishwasher. Run a cycle and check for leaks.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the float switch do?
It shuts off the water fill valve if the water level gets too high before the timed fill cycle ends. It is a safety device that helps prevent overflow.
My dishwasher still won't fill. Will this fix it?
Only if the float is the cause. A dishwasher that won't fill can also have a bad inlet valve, a clogged inlet screen, or a control problem. Check that the float moves freely and test the valve first.
Is W10195039 the same as WPW10195039?
Yes. W10195039 is the older Whirlpool number and WPW10195039 is its replacement. This float switch covers both.
Will this fit my dishwasher?
It is listed for many Whirlpool-built dishwashers, but the model list above is only a sample. Check your model number against your parts diagram, or contact our support team and we'll verify it before you order.

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
Cross Reference Information
Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models. For your convenience, we've included any known superseded, alternate, or cross-reference part numbers that match this item.
Replaces Part Numbers
This door switch directly replaces the following part numbers:
WP3406107, WPW10569603, 3406107, 3406109, W10569603, 3405100, 3405101, 3406100, 3406101, ES6107, 528948, 11259-65, PD00002378, EAP11741701, AP6008561, AWP47183, PS11741701
This switch design was updated to a three-wire configuration at some point in its production history (superseding older 3405100/3405101/3406100/3406101 numbers), but the current three-wire version remains compatible with older two-wire harnesses, so it's a safe direct replacement across all of these part numbers.
Compatibility
This door switch is compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, and KitchenAid dryers, including units across the:
Whirlpool/Kenmore Series 60, 70, 80, 90, 500, 600, 700, and 800 dryer lines
AED4475TQ1, MEDC400VW0, and numerous additional model numbers
Note: This switch has been used across a very wide range of Whirlpool-built dryers (including Kenmore, Maytag, and KitchenAid badged units) spanning many production years, so the list above is only a sample. Confirm your model number against your dryer's parts diagram, or contact our support team to verify fit before ordering.

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.

XPARTCO WH03X30517 Washer Shift Actuator
The XPARTCO WH03X30517 is an aftermarket replacement shift actuator (mode shifter) for GE top-load washers, and also fits select Hotpoint and Kenmore models. Mounted at the bottom of the washer, this actuator changes the function of the washer's motor between agitation and spin cycles, effectively managing the conversion from agitation to high-speed rotation that removes moisture from clothing at the end of the wash.
Made mostly of plastic, with two mounting holes and a single wire harness connection. Over time, the actuator's internal motor can burn out or fail electrically. Symptoms of a failing shift actuator include the washer failing to switch between agitation and spin modes, the washer not spinning or agitating at all, abnormal noise or grinding during the cycle, or clothes coming out still soggy after a completed wash. It directly replaces WH03X30517, WH05X24435, WH05X25036, 290D1056G001, 4588015, 4961069, AP7014559, AGE25894, PD00068062, EAP16554752, PS16554752.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WH03X30517 Washer Shift Actuator fixes GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore top-load washers that won't switch between agitation and spin, won't spin or agitate at all, or leave clothes still soggy after a wash. Sold individually. Replaces WH03X30517, WH05X24435, WH05X25036, 290D1056G001, 4588015, 4961069, AP7014559, AGE25894, PD00068062, EAP16554752, PS16554752. If your washer agitates and spins fine individually but still won't switch between the two modes after replacing this actuator, the underlying cause may lie elsewhere — one customer found this exact residual symptom after installing this part.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Washer won't switch between agitation and spin modes
Washer not spinning or agitating at all
Abnormal noise or grinding during the wash cycle
Clothes still soggy after a completed wash cycle
No clicking sound heard when the washer attempts to change modes

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting — Laying The Washer On Its Side Makes Access Easier Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning. Wear work gloves. This repair typically requires tipping or laying the washer on its side to access the bottom of the machine, where the shift actuator is mounted. Lay the washer down carefully, protecting the floor and the washer's exterior. Locate the shifter connector and unplug it, then remove the two screws holding the actuator in place. Take out the old actuator. Install the new WH03X30517 in the same position, securing it with the two mounting screws, and reconnect the wire harness connector fully. Stand the washer back upright. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm the washer switches correctly between agitation and spin, listening for a clicking sound as it changes modes. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer won't switch from wash to spin, but it will spin if I catch it there. Is this the part I need?
Yes, this is a well-documented symptom of a failing shift actuator. One customer described their machine not going to wash mode with no clicking sound heard when the mode should change, which is a classic sign this part has failed. They accessed the actuator by laying the machine on its side, then unplugged the shifter connector and removed two screws to complete the swap.
I replaced this part but my washer still won't switch from wash to spin. What's going on?
This is a fair question, and it's worth knowing that replacing this actuator doesn't always resolve every mode-switching problem on its own. One customer replaced the mode shifter, cleared all codes, and confirmed the washer agitated and spun fine individually, but it still wouldn't switch between the two modes — suggesting a different or additional component may have been involved in their specific case. If you're still having trouble after installing this part, further diagnosis of the transmission or related components may be needed.
Does this come with the clutch too?
No, this listing is for the shift actuator only, sold individually. A related shift clutch, WH05X24185, is a separate part — if your repair requires replacing both, you'll need to order the clutch separately.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine GE OEM part, but is manufactured to match the mounting, wiring, and switching function of the original WH03X30517 shift actuator used in compatible GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore top-load washers.

WD21X25468 Genuine OEM GE Dishwasher Pressure Sensor Assembly
The WD21X25468 is a Genuine OEM GE replacement dishwasher pressure sensor assembly compatible with a wide range of GE, GE Profile, GE Café, Hotpoint, Haier, and Monogram dishwashers in the GDF, GDT, GDP, PDT, CDT, ZDT, QDP, and HDF series. The pressure sensor monitors water pressure inside the dishwasher tub during fill and drain cycles and sends real-time readings to the electronic control board. The control board uses these readings to calculate the correct amount of water needed for each wash cycle and to confirm that the tub has drained properly before advancing to the next cycle phase.
When the pressure sensor fails — or when it becomes clogged with grease, food residue, or mineral buildup — the dishwasher may not fill with water, may overfill, may stop mid-cycle, may fail to drain correctly, or may display error codes H2O or FTD (Failure to Drain). This Genuine OEM part is manufactured by GE to factory specifications. It directly replaces AP6976524, PS12741258, EAP12741258, 4962334, 37640602, and 265D3356P001. Sold individually. Installs in 15–20 minutes — a screwdriver is the only tool required for most models.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dishwasher and Shut Off Water Before Starting Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before beginning. On most compatible GE models, the pressure sensor is located near the bottom of the dishwasher tub, accessible after removing the lower front kick panel (secured by one or two screws). The sensor assembly connects to a small hose and a wiring harness connector. Tip: before replacing the sensor, remove it and inspect the pressure port and hose for grease, food residue, or mineral buildup — a clogged sensor port can cause H2O and FTD errors without the sensor itself being electrically failed. Clean the port and hose with warm water and a small brush, reinstall, and test the dishwasher. If the error codes persist after cleaning, replace the WD21X25468 sensor. To replace: disconnect the hose and wiring harness from the old sensor, unclip or unscrew the sensor from its mounting bracket, and install the new sensor in the same position. Reconnect the hose and harness, restore power and water, and run a test cycle. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the dishwasher pressure sensor do?
The pressure sensor monitors the water pressure — and therefore the water level — inside the dishwasher tub throughout the wash cycle. It sends continuous readings to the electronic control board, which uses the data to determine how much water to add during fill, when to stop filling, and whether the tub has drained completely before advancing to the next cycle phase. An accurate pressure sensor is essential for the dishwasher to fill to the correct level (not too much, not too little), wash with the correct spray arm pressure, and drain fully before moving on to rinse or dry cycles.
What do error codes H2O and FTD mean on GE dishwashers?
H2O error code on compatible GE dishwashers indicates that the dishwasher is not detecting enough water in the tub — either water is not filling at all, or the pressure sensor is not sensing the water that has filled. FTD (Failure to Drain) code indicates the dishwasher has not confirmed that the tub has drained within the expected time. Both codes can be caused by a faulty pressure sensor, a clogged sensor port, a failed fill valve, a blocked drain system, or control board issues. The pressure sensor should be inspected and tested first since it is the most accessible and commonly replaced component for these two error codes.
Should I try cleaning the sensor before replacing it?
Yes — absolutely. The pressure sensor on GE dishwashers can produce H2O and FTD error codes when its pressure port or connected hose becomes clogged with grease, food residue, or hard water mineral deposits — even if the sensor itself is electrically intact. Before ordering a replacement, remove the sensor, inspect the pressure port opening, and clean it thoroughly with warm water and a small brush. Flush the connected hose to clear any buildup. Reinstall and run a test cycle. If the error codes return, the sensor has electrically failed and needs replacement with the WD21X25468.
My dishwasher won't fill unless I pour water in manually first — is this the pressure sensor?
Yes — this is a classic symptom of a clogged or failed pressure sensor. When the sensor port is blocked, the sensor reads zero pressure (empty tub) even when the dishwasher starts. In some cases the control board interprets this as a drainage confirmation and will not initiate the fill cycle. Pouring water into the filter manually raises the physical water level enough to trigger filling. Check and clean the sensor port as described above. If cleaning does not resolve the issue, replace the WD21X25468 sensor.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by GE to factory specifications. It is the exact same pressure sensor assembly installed in compatible GE, GE Profile, GE Café, Hotpoint, and related brand dishwashers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

AHA72973309 Genuine OEM LG Washer Drain & Circulation Pump Assembly
The AHA72973309 is a genuine LG OEM drain and circulation pump assembly for LG and select Kenmore front-load washers. This is a dual-purpose pump — an Askoll M120-2 unit — that handles two separate jobs from one motor and housing. During the drain portion of the cycle, it pumps wastewater out of the tub and out through the drain hose. During the wash and rinse portions, it switches roles and recirculates water from the bottom of the tub back up through the dispenser and spray nozzle, showering it back over the load. That recirculation spray is what lets LG's front-load washers clean effectively with less water than an older top-load design would need.
Because this single assembly performs both functions, a failure here can show up in more than one way: standing water left in the tub after a cycle, a washer that won't complete its drain step, unusual grinding or humming noise, or reduced wash performance if the recirculation spray isn't working even though draining still seems fine. Common causes include debris such as coins, buttons, or lint lodged in the impeller, general wear and tear on the motor bearings, or an electrical failure in the pump motor itself. It directly replaces AP5676608, 2659237, AHA72973304, and PS7788830. As a genuine OEM part, the AHA72973309 is manufactured by LG to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.
Quick Answer
The AHA72973309 Genuine OEM LG Washer Drain & Circulation Pump Assembly fixes LG and select Kenmore front-load washers with standing water left in the tub after a cycle, a washer that won't drain, unusual grinding or humming noise, or reduced wash performance from a weak recirculation spray. Askoll M120-2 dual-purpose pump — handles both draining and mid-cycle water recirculation. Replaces AP5676608, 2659237, AHA72973304, PS7788830. Installation is average difficulty, 30 to 60 minutes — and on many models it's accessible through the front panel without needing to tip the washer over.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Standing water left in the tub after a cycle finishes
Washer won't drain, or drains very slowly
Drainage-related error code displayed on the control panel
Unusual grinding, humming, or rattling noise during the drain or wash portion of the cycle
Reduced wash performance — clothes not getting as clean, possibly from a weak recirculation spray
Washer stalling mid-cycle at the drain step
Water leaking from underneath the washer near the pump housing
Pump that hums but doesn't seem to move water — possible clog or seized impeller

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer And Shut Off Water Before Starting — Drain Residual Water First Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker, and close the water supply valves before beginning. Wear work gloves. Place towels down and have a shallow pan ready, since the pump housing will hold residual water even after a completed cycle — draining this into a pan before disconnecting hoses will save you a mess. On many models, this pump is fully accessible by removing the front lower access panel or kick plate, without needing to tip the washer onto its back — check this first, since it can save significant time and effort compared to some online guides that recommend tipping the unit. Photograph the hose routing and wiring connections before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the two hose clamps connecting the pump to the tub and drain hose, and unplug the electrical connector from the pump motor. Remove the mounting screws or clips securing the pump assembly and lift it free, checking the impeller area for coins, buttons, or debris while it's out — clearing a clog here may have been the actual cause of the original symptom. Install the new AHA72973309 in the same orientation, reconnect both hoses with their clamps, and reconnect the electrical connector fully. Reinstall the front access panel, restore water and power, and run a short cycle to confirm normal draining, recirculation spray, and no leaks around the pump housing. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, hose clamp pliers, shallow pan or towels, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need to tip the washer over to replace this pump?
Not necessarily — check your model first. While a lot of general online guidance recommends tipping the washer onto its back to access the pump from underneath, many LG and Kenmore Elite front-load models make this pump fully accessible through the front lower access panel or kick plate instead, without any tipping required. It's worth removing that panel first and seeing what you find before committing to the more involved tip-over approach.
Why does this one pump handle both draining and something during the wash cycle?
LG's front-load washers use this same Askoll pump for two different jobs at different points in the cycle: pumping wastewater out during the drain step, and recirculating water from the bottom of the tub back up through the dispenser and spray nozzle during wash and rinse to shower it over the load. That recirculation spray is part of how these washers clean effectively while using less water than an older top-load design. Because one pump does both jobs, a failure can affect draining, wash performance, or both, depending on what's actually gone wrong inside it.
There's water left in the tub after every cycle. Is this definitely the pump?
It's one of the most common causes, but check the easy things first. A clogged drain filter or a kinked drain hose can produce the same "won't drain" symptom and cost nothing to fix. If the filter and hose are clear and water is still standing in the tub, or if the pump hums but doesn't seem to move any water, the pump assembly itself has likely failed.
My washer drains fine but clothes aren't coming out as clean. Could this pump be the cause?
Possibly. Since this same assembly also handles the recirculation spray during wash, a partial failure can leave draining intact while weakening or eliminating that spray function, which reduces how effectively detergent and water reach the load. If drainage is normal but wash performance has noticeably declined, it's worth having this pump checked as one possible cause alongside things like detergent dosing and water hardness.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by LG to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It includes the same Askoll M120-2 dual-function pump design, wiring, and mounting configuration as the drain and circulation pump assembly originally installed in your front-load washer.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer and Shut Off Water Before Starting — Work Gloves Recommended Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before beginning. Wear work gloves throughout. The drain pump is mounted on the underside of the outer tub — to access it, disconnect the water supply hoses, drain hose, and lid switch wiring, then carefully tilt the washer onto its back or side on a padded surface. Locate the pump on the bottom of the tub. Using a 5/16" nut driver, remove the three mounting screws securing the pump assembly to the tub. Release the two spring clamps with channel-lock pliers and disconnect the inlet and outlet hoses from the pump. Disconnect the wiring harness and remove the old pump. Install the new W11396717 pump in the same position, reconnect hoses and clamps, reconnect the wiring harness, and secure with the three mounting screws. Return the washer to upright, reconnect all hoses and wiring, restore power and water, and run a drain/spin cycle to confirm drainage and check for leaks. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 5/16" nut driver, channel-lock pliers, padded surface for tilting, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between W11396717 and W11263349?
These are the same drain pump assembly across two production revisions. W11263349 was the original part number, and W11396717 is the current updated version that supersedes it. Whirlpool issues updated part numbers when minor engineering changes are made during production. Both are the same pump with the same specifications, dimensions, and function. If your washer's parts diagram shows W11263349, the W11396717 is the correct current replacement to order.
Why does accessing this pump require tilting the washer?
On compatible Whirlpool WTW and Maytag MVW HE top-load washers, the drain pump is mounted directly to the underside of the outer tub — not on the cabinet side panel or behind a front access panel as on some other models. The pump's three mounting screws are only reachable from below the machine. The standard repair procedure is to unplug and disconnect the washer, tilt it onto its back or side on a padded surface, access the pump from underneath, and return the washer to upright after installation.
How do I know if it's the drain pump versus a blocked drain hose?
Before replacing the pump, check the drain hose for kinks or blockages — disconnect the hose and blow through it to confirm it is clear. Also check whether the drain hose standpipe height is within the recommended range (typically 39–96 inches from the floor). If the hose is clear and properly positioned but the washer still won't drain, listen during the drain phase: a completely silent drain cycle (motor not running) suggests a failed motor or control board issue, while a humming or grinding noise during drain confirms the pump motor is receiving power but the pump is mechanically failed and needs replacement.
Is this pump the same as the W10876600 used in older Whirlpool Cabrio models?
No — the W11396717 and the W10876600 are different drain pumps for different Whirlpool top-load washer generations. The W10876600 (and its successor WPW10730972) is used in older Whirlpool Cabrio and Maytag Centennial models. The W11396717 is used in newer WTW5100/6120/7120/8120 and MVW6200/6230/7230/7232/8230 series models. They are not interchangeable — verify your model number before ordering.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications. It is the exact same drain pump assembly installed in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, and Kenmore top-load washers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the dryer before beginning, and shut off the gas supply first on gas models. Wear work gloves, as cabinet edges can be sharp. The switch is mounted inside the top of the front panel, so follow your model's service guide to remove the panel needed to reach it. Note how the wiring connector is attached, disconnect it, and remove the old switch. Fit the new switch in the same position, reconnect the wiring, and reassemble. Restore power and confirm the dryer starts 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?
A worn door switch is a common cause. With the dryer unplugged, press the switch's black tab. If there is no resistance and no click, the switch likely needs replacing.
My dryer runs with the door open. Is that a problem?
Yes. The door switch is a safety part that stops the dryer from running when the door is open. If the dryer runs with the door open, replace the switch promptly.
My dryer has a two-wire switch. Will this three-wire switch work?
Retailers list this three-wire switch as the replacement for the two-wire switch found on many models. Compare it to your old switch and your wiring, or contact our support team with your model number, before ordering.
Will this fit my dryer?
It is listed for many Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, and KitchenAid dryers, but the model list above is only a sample. Check your model number against your parts diagram, or contact our support team and we'll verify it before you order.

EXP499 Microwave Door Switch (Normally Closed)
The EXP499 is a universal replacement normally closed (NC) 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's normally closed contact design matches a wide range of microwave door latch mechanisms across GE, Whirlpool, Samsung, LG, Kenmore, and other brands.
Rated 16A, 125/250VAC. Over time, this switch's contacts can wear, pit, or fuse together from repeated cycling and the electrical load carried 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 intermittent operation tied to the door latch area. This is the normally closed counterpart to our EXP497 (normally open) and EXP480 (combined NC/NO) listings — always confirm which specific contact configuration your microwave's failed switch uses before ordering.
Quick Answer
The EXP499 Microwave Door Switch (Normally Closed) fixes microwave ovens and microwave/oven combos that won't start, won't heat, or operate intermittently near the door latch area. 16A, 125/250VAC, normally closed (NC) contact design. Never operate a microwave with a bypassed, disconnected, or suspected-faulty door interlock switch — these switches exist to prevent radiation exposure and must always be replaced with a properly rated part, never removed or defeated.
Common Problems This Part Fixes

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 including GE, Whirlpool, Samsung, LG, and Kenmore, wherever the original switch matches this normally closed (NC) 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 normally closed (NC) configuration. This is a different part from our EXP497 (normally open) and EXP480 (combined NC/NO) listings. 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 EXP499 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.
How is this different from your EXP497 and EXP480 listings?
These are different contact configurations for different switch positions in a microwave's door interlock system. This EXP499 is normally closed (NC) only. Our EXP497 listing is normally open (NO) only, and our EXP480 listing combines both NC and NO contacts in a single switch body. Since most microwaves use two or three interlock switches with different configurations, check which contact type your specific failed switch uses before ordering.
My microwave trips the breaker whenever I open the door. What does that mean?
This can indicate that one of the door switches 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.
