The interlock switch may also be referred to as a belt switch. This part is a simple on/off mechanism that prohibits the appliance from operating when the door is open. This is a part for your dryer. The interlock switch senses the door is shut and the dryer can begin. This part might need to be replaced if your dryer is not starting or is in process while the door is open. The black rectangular part of the switch is approximately 2 inches long and a 1/2-inch wide with two gold plates on either end. This is a genuine OEM part that is sourced right from the manufacturer.

Customer Repair Stories

Dishwasher would not turn on.

There are 2 switches that should be pressed in when you move the handle to lock door, the switches usually go bad with time. Just take the six screws off on the inside of door, then remove screw on the underneath part of handle. The switches are located on the top part under a piece of 1 inch metal plate held in by a screw, remove that and you'll see the 2 switches, test the button on each one to see if it goes in and out, you'll hear the click to. Just unplug bottom first then the top if you need to replace the top one. Thats it.

interlock switch was bad. Prevents the dishwasher form running as it "thinks" the door is still open.

Opened door, removed screw holding down metal plate that presses against interlock switch when door is closed. Removed plastic cover thingy that is over interlock switches. Removed the interlock switch by pressing the plastic lock thingy away from switch. Pulled the wires off each end of the interlock switch. Removed new interlock switch from plastic bag and reversed above procedure. Done, shut door and the dishwasher works.

This part is the replacement timer knob for your dishwasher. It is made of white plastic with a gray indicator line, and it is approximately 2 inches long and 1 inch wide. The timer knob turns on the shaft and allows you to choose the correct setting for your dishwasher. The main reason you would be replacing this knob, is if the old one is broken or stripped, and it will not turn the shaft. To replace this knob, carefully remove it from the shaft, and replace it with the new one. This part is sold individually and is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer.
