Whirlpool W11244490 Microwave Door Interlock Switch

The Whirlpool W11244490 is an important safety feature for your Whirlpool microwave oven. This switch, known as a microwave door interlock, stops the microwave from working when the door is open. It is imperative that users take this safety precaution to shield themselves from dangerous microwave radiation. The door interlock operates by detecting the position of the microwave door. When the door is closed, the switch completes an electrical circuit, allowing the microwave to operate normally. Still, when the door is open, the circuit is broken, and the microwave is disabled. The W11244490 interlock must be operational in order for microwaves to operate safely. Replacing a defective one with a genuine Whirlpool replacement guarantees that your microwave continues to operate safely and reliably.
