A switch of this type changes state when a magnet comes close to it, so LG uses them to sense whether a door, lid, drawer or other moving part is in position without any physical contact. Our records don't say which LG product this switch belongs to. Match the number on your old switch, and note that EBF61314804 and EBF61314816 are separate LG magnet switches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat goes wrong with a magnet switch\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause there's no plunger or lever to wear out, a magnet switch is usually reliable, but it can still fail. The contacts inside can stick, the switch body can crack, and the wires or plug can corrode or break, especially where moisture or cold is involved. The magnet that triggers it can also come loose or fall out of the part it's mounted in. Symptoms include a light that stays on or won't come on, an alarm that thinks a door is open, a function that won't start, or an error code on the display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine LG part EBF61314813\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagnetic switch, triggered by a nearby magnet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEBF61314804 and EBF61314816 are different parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct type and models not recorded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTesting and fitting the switch\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisconnect power before you start. With a multimeter on continuity, the old switch should change state when a magnet is held near it. If it doesn't, replace it. Make sure the magnet on the moving part is still in place, fit the new switch in the same spot and orientation, and route the wires away from hinges and sharp edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I test the switch before ordering?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Unplug the product, disconnect the switch and check it with a multimeter set to continuity while you bring a magnet close and take it away. A switch that never changes state is faulty. If it does switch, the fault may be the magnet, wiring or control board.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44551231373390,"sku":"EBF61314813","price":17.91,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/partsshop.com.au\/products\/ebf61314813-genuine-lg-magnet-switch","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
