Universal Microwave & Tumble Dryer Micro Switch – 3-Pin Long Lever Type
The Universal 3-Pin Long Lever Micro Switch is a replacement snap-action switch suitable for selected microwave ovens and tumble dryers. This version includes an extended metal lever arm that allows a door latch, cam or moving mechanism to activate the switch from a greater distance.
The long actuator arm presses the switch button when the appliance door or operating mechanism reaches the correct position. A faulty switch may prevent the appliance from starting, cause intermittent operation or stop the control system from detecting that the door is safely closed.
Product Features
- Part type: Appliance micro switch / long lever limit switch
- Terminal configuration: 3-pin
- Contact arrangement: Common, normally open and normally closed
- Actuator type: Extended metal lever arm

- Replacement for worn, burnt, intermittent or non-working lever switches
Common Symptoms This Part May Fix
- Microwave not starting when the door is closed
- Microwave not detecting the door-latch position
- Tumble dryer not operating when the door is closed
- Appliance starting and stopping intermittently
- Switch operating only when the lever is pressed manually
- Long actuator arm bent, loose or damaged
- Switch clicking mechanically but not changing electrical state
- Burnt, loose or damaged electrical terminals
- Incorrect continuity readings across the switch contacts
- Door or safety-related fault appearing
Important Fitment Note
This is a universal-style long lever micro switch and is not suitable for every microwave oven or tumble dryer. Before ordering, compare the electrical rating, three-terminal layout, terminal width, body dimensions, mounting-hole spacing, lever length, lever angle and operating direction with the original switch.
The COM, NO and NC terminals must be connected in the same configuration as the original component. Incorrect wiring may cause the appliance to operate incorrectly or bypass an important safety function.
Do not bypass a door or safety micro switch. Microwave ovens contain high-voltage components that may retain a potentially lethal electrical charge after the appliance has been unplugged. Microwave testing and repairs should only be carried out by a qualified appliance technician.
