WB24X28840 General Electric Dual Plunger Switch

The Dual Plunger Switch is a genuine OEM part designed for use with GE gas ranges. This electro-mechanical device is essential for activating the burners and both the bake and broil modes, ensuring they operate only when the oven door is properly closed.

Several brands under the GE umbrella, such as Cafe, General Electric, Monogram, Haier, Hotpoint, Profile, Fisher & Paykel, and Sears-Kenmore, utilize this component. It is also compatible with select models from Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore gas ranges.

Common reasons for malfunction include the wear and tear of contact points, damage to the wiring, or faults in other internal elements.

When the Dual Plunger Switch is failing, you might notice several issues:
- The oven may not switch to cooking functions despite the door being closed.
- Error alerts may appear indicating that the door is not securely shut.
- Burners might turn on unexpectedly even when the door is open.
- The door interlock safety feature may stop working correctly.

Addressing these problems promptly can help maintain the safety and functionality of your appliance.
