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. It directly replaces 28QBP0496, W10211972, 4375346, W10330566, WPW10330566, 1472224, 4393442, 4393498, 4393570, 4393697, 4393881, 461967848881, 8206345, W10131248, W10217468, AH2338920, EA2338920, AP4357880, PS2338920, KW3A-16Z0-A200-76, W10727360, W10269457, 3379124, AP5950105, and PS10057151.

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 WH13X10014 Washer Water Inlet Valve
The XPARTCO WH13X10014 is an aftermarket replacement water inlet valve for GE washer/dryer combination units — a single cabinet that houses both wash and dry functions and shares one door, lid, and control system for both. This valve sits at the point where the hot and cold water supply lines connect, and it's the gatekeeper for every drop of water that enters the tub during the wash portion of a cycle. When the control calls for a fill, the valve's solenoid opens to admit water; once the correct level is reached, it closes again.
Common causes of failure include mineral or sediment buildup inside the valve body that prevents it from sealing fully, and a burned-out internal solenoid coil. A failing valve on a combo unit produces the same core symptoms you'd see on a standalone washer: the wash side won't fill, fills too slowly, won't stop filling, or leaks after the cycle ends — but because a combo unit shares more components in a single cabinet than separate machines do, it's worth confirming the water issue is isolated to the valve and not connected to other combo-specific parts nearby, such as our WH12X955 lid switch listing, which serves this same GE combo platform. It directly replaces WH13X0084, WH13X10013, WH13X84, AP3203931, and 944040.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WH13X10014 Washer Water Inlet Valve fixes GE washer/dryer combo units that won't fill with water, fill slowly, won't stop filling, or leak after the cycle ends. For GE's combination washer/dryer platform (WSM2420/WSM2480 series). Replaces WH13X0084, WH13X10013, WH13X84, AP3203931, 944040. This valve is specific to GE's washer/dryer combo unit — not a standalone front-load or top-load washer valve.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Washer/dryer combo won't fill with water at the start of the wash cycle
Water fills much more slowly than normal
Unit won't stop filling — water continues past the normal level
Water leaking or dripping after the cycle has ended
Cycle stalling at the fill step and never advancing to wash
No hot water reaching the tub, or no cold water reaching the tub
Unit not washing properly due to insufficient or incorrect-temperature water

Installation Notes
⚠️ Shut Off Water Supply And Unplug Unit Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker, and shut off both hot and cold water supply valves before beginning. Wear work gloves. On these combination units, the top of the cabinet often lifts off or opens as a single enclosure covering both the wash and dry sections, which also carries the lid switch wiring — note this connector's location before pulling the panel free. Disconnect the hot and cold water supply hoses from the back of the valve, keeping a towel handy for residual water. Photograph the wiring and hose connections before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the electrical connector from the old valve, remove its mounting screws, and pull it free. Install the new WH13X10014 in the same position, reconnect the electrical connector fully, and secure the mounting screws. Reattach the hot and cold water supply hoses to the correct ports, tightening securely by hand plus a partial turn with pliers. Reinstall the cabinet enclosure, reconnecting the lid switch harness if it was disturbed, restore the water supply, and check every connection for leaks before restoring power. Run a short cycle and confirm the wash side fills at the normal rate with no leaking. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, pliers, towel, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the same valve used on a standalone GE washer?
No. This valve is built specifically for GE's washer/dryer combination units, which share a single cabinet and control system for both wash and dry functions. GE's standalone front-load washers use a different valve (such as our WH13X10029 listing), and the two are not interchangeable. Always confirm whether your appliance is a combo unit or a standalone washer before ordering.
My unit won't stop filling. Is that this valve?
Yes, this is one of the most common symptoms of a failing valve. A worn internal seal can fail to close fully, letting water continue flowing even after the correct fill level is reached. Since this could lead to overflow, it's worth shutting off the water supply at the wall if you notice this happening rather than waiting to address it.
Only hot or only cold water isn't coming in. Do I need the whole valve?
Usually yes. Most washer inlet valves use two separate solenoid coils in one housing — one for hot, one for cold — but they're not typically sold or serviced as separately replaceable coils. If just one side has stopped working while the other functions normally, that still points to a failure inside this valve assembly, and replacing the complete unit is the standard repair.
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 solenoid design, connection type, and mounting configuration of the original WH13X10014 valve used in compatible GE washer/dryer combination units.

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.

WP8181651 Washer Genuine OEM Door Striker
Replaces Part Numbers: WP8181651, 8181651, 906446, AP6011711, PS11744910.
Description: This Door Strike is a Genuine part for specific Maytag, Kenmore, Whirlpool washing machine models. This component is responsible for providing a secure and proper closure for the washer door, ensuring it seals tightly during operation.
XPG499 Microwave Door Switch (Normally Closed)
The XPG499 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 XPG499 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
Microwave won't start at all, even though the display and buttons respond normally
Microwave display and timer work, but the unit won't heat
Microwave stops working intermittently, especially around the door latch
Clicking or buzzing sound from the door area without the microwave starting
Breaker tripping when the door is opened, indicating a switch contact that has fused shut
Door that doesn't feel like it's latching securely

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.

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 XPG499 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.
