Check Before Replacing

- Verify that the knob is properly seated and that the switch shaft turns through its intended positions.
- Inspect accessible wiring and terminals for loose, disconnected, or visibly overheated connections; do not test live circuits unless qualified.
- Confirm the model-specific wiring diagram before testing switch continuity, and have a qualified technician perform electrical testing if needed.
Pro Tip
