How do I replace the door switch on my EDGESTAR DWP62 series countertop dishwasher? – EdgeStar

The door switch on your EdgeStar DWP62 series dishwasher signals to the circuit board that the door is closed properly and the unit can begin a cycle. A failing switch may lead to an error code, failure to turn on, or it may even allow the unit to run without the door closed properly.

NOTE: Empty contents of unit and disconnect from power source before attempting any repairs.
