4055704052 Genuine Dishwasher Main On Off Power Switch for Westinghouse Dishwashers WSF6606W WSF6606X WSF6608W WSF6608X 32001607

4055704052 is the genuine main power switch for Westinghouse dishwashers, the on and off button that feeds power to the controls. It is also referenced as 32001607 and 32006362. Listed models are the WSF6606W and WSF6606X, along with the WSF6608W and WSF6608X. If the machine is completely dead, or will not switch off at all, this button is one of the first things to check.

Westinghouse dishwasher won't turn on? Test the power switch

Pressing the on and off button closes a switch that sends mains power to the dishwasher's electronics. The switch is pressed thousands of times over the life of the machine, and its contacts or mechanism eventually wear. When it fails, the dishwasher may be completely dead with no lights, power up only when the button is held or jiggled, cut out mid program, or refuse to turn off. Steam around the door can speed up the wear. Before replacing the switch, confirm the power point works and the plug and lead are sound.

Changing the power switch

Switch off at the wall and unplug the dishwasher, or isolate it at the switchboard if it is hard-wired, in which case a licensed electrician should do the work. The switch sits in the control panel along the top of the door, which is usually opened by removing screws on the inside edge. Photograph the switch wiring before removing it, connect each wire to the same terminal on the new switch and check it clicks cleanly before closing up.
