Door Switch Assembly - GEAppliances PermaTuf GLD28**V Technical Service Manual

Door Switch Assembly

The door switch assembly on PermaTuf tub models
consists of 2 switches activated by a spring-loaded
plunger. One door switch connects or disconnects
the line (hot) side of 120 VAC. The other switch
connects or disconnects the neutral side of 120 VAC.
On stainless steel tub models, there is only 1 switch
that connects or disconnects the line (hot) side of
120 VAC.
When the door is in the closed position, the door
latch presses and holds down the switch plunger on
the door switch assembly. This action holds the door
fi rmly against the seal with the contacts of the door
switches closed.

1. Disconnect the power supply to the dishwasher.
