WPW10414398 - Whirlpool Washer Switch

This Whirlpool Washer Switch (WPW10414398) is a genuine part specifically designed for Whirlpool washing machines. It is also known as a "water-level selector switch," enabling you to control the water level within your appliance with precision. Integrated control boards utilize solid state switches, while this switch focuses on governing the flow of electrical power to the washer's components, including motors, valves, and heating elements, based on programmed operations or user input. Its design accounts for the challenging laundry environment by being moisture resistant to ensure uninterrupted performance. Door interlock functionality is a key feature, cutting off power when the washer's door is opened to enhance user safety. A malfunctioning switch can disrupt the proper sequence of operations, highlighting the importance of this part in smart power management within washing appliances. If you notice your washer failing to start, not adhering to the selected water level, or experiencing issues with the door lock, it may indicate a need for replacing this part. Before purchasing, kindly verify your device's model number to ensure compatibility.
