Part W10269458 Door Switch
Purpose
Ensures safe microwave door interlock.
Details
The W10269458 door interlock switch is a Genuine OEM safety component for select Whirlpool-family microwaves. It detects a fully closed door and allows the control to energize the high-voltage system only when safe. A failing switch can prevent the unit from starting, stop it mid-cycle, leave the light/fan running with the door open, or cause intermittent operation. Replacing a worn switch restores proper interlock function and reliable, safe performance.
Included Items
One door interlock microswitch (two-terminal, normally closed). Mounting hardware and bracket are typically reused.
