W11197766 Whirlpool Door Switch

Step 1: First, you will need to disconnect the power to the dishwasher by unplugging the unit or turning off the circuit breaker.

Step 2: Now you can open the dishwasher door and locate the Interlock Switch (model W11197766). The switch may be located in the door frame or at the bottom of the door.

Step 3: Once you have located the switch, unplug the wiring from the back of the device. Be sure to note where each wire is connected, as you will need to transfer this information to the new switch.

Step 4: Now you can remove the old switch. This can be done by unscrewing the two screws that secure the switch to the door or frame. You may also need to remove any plastic clips or screws that are holding the switch in place.

Step 5: Once you have removed the old switch, you can dispose of it, as it is no longer needed.

Step 6: Now you can take your new Whirlpool W11197766 Interlock Switch and plug in the wiring, making sure to match the wiring with the same pattern as the old switch.

Step 7: Once the wiring is connected, you can now secure the switch back into the door frame or bottom of the door. Use the same screws that were used to hold the old switch in place, if possible.

Step 8: Once you have installed the new switch, you can turn the power back on, and check to make sure it is functioning properly.

Please keep in mind, these instructions are for general guidance and should always be used in conjunction with the manufacturer's manual, if available.
