The selector is the control behind the knob that sets which function or program runs. Our records don't name the appliance type, so check the number on your old switch or in your model's parts list before ordering.

Whirlpool selector faults to look for

A selector switch takes a lot of turning over the life of an appliance, and its contacts carry current every time a function runs. Common faults are a setting that does nothing, functions coming on in the wrong position, controls that only respond when the knob is pressed or wiggled, and a knob that turns loosely without clicking. Heat damage shows as browned plastic or melted connectors. Fitting the correct number restores each position to the function it was designed for.

Fitting the selector

Switch off at the wall and unplug, or turn off the circuit breaker if it's hard-wired, in which case a licensed electrician should fit it. Remove the knob and the control panel cover. Photograph the old selector's wiring from two angles, then transfer the connections one by one. Secure the new switch, refit the knob and run through every setting.
