Micro switches are used wherever an appliance needs to sense a door, lid, lever or cam position, so they turn up in ovens, microwaves, dryers, washers and small appliances. Compare the body size, mounting holes, actuator and terminal layout with your old switch before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFaulty micro switch symptoms\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA micro switch changes state with only a tiny movement of its button or lever, which is why appliances use them to confirm a door is shut or a mechanism is in position. When the contacts wear or burn, the appliance may not start, may stop mid-cycle, may behave as if the door is open, or may only work when you press on the door or lid. A switch that no longer clicks, or reads open circuit on a multimeter when pressed, needs replacing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneric part MS106\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated at 15A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6.3mm spade terminals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUniversal micro switch for appliance use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"part-specs\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCurrent rating\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTerminals\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.3mm spade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMatching and fitting a micro switch\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnplug the appliance or isolate it before opening any panels.
