Supco es0497 Microwave Microswitch 125/250V 15A

Product Description

The SUPCO es0497 is a SPST microswitch rated for 125/250 volts and 15 amps, designed for use in microwave oven door interlock and actuator switch applications. This switch controls circuit continuity based on mechanical actuation, making it a critical safety and operational component inside the microwave cavity door assembly. It is installed by appliance service technicians and qualified electricians performing household appliance repair. The push-on terminal connection simplifies wiring during replacement procedures.

This microswitch is used in residential microwave ovens where the door interlock system requires a reliable SPST switching action. It is a direct replacement for the 28QBP0497 switch and fits into the same mounting position without modification. Typical install scenarios include replacing a failed door interlock switch that causes the microwave to not start, run continuously, or blow a fuse.

Key Features

• SPST switching configuration for single-circuit door interlock control
• Dual voltage rating of 125/250 volts for broad compatibility
• 15-amp current rating supports standard microwave operating loads
• 0.1875-inch push-on terminal connection for fast, secure wiring
• Drop-in replacement for 28QBP0497

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Microwave door interlock switches must be replaced by a qualified appliance technician. Always unplug the microwave from its power source before beginning any service work — microwave capacitors can retain a lethal charge even after the unit is unplugged and must be properly discharged before handling internal components. Use insulated tools and follow all applicable electrical safety guidelines. Verify the replacement switch orientation and terminal engagement before restoring power.
