I recently purchased a Frigidaire front loading washing machine and I noticed a reed switch on the back. I am curious to know what this switch is used for and what it does. Can anyone explain to me what the reed switch is and how it works? I would really appreciate any help or advice that anyone can provide me with. Thank you!
A reed switch on a Frigidaire front loading washing machine is an electrical component that is used to detect the position of the door. It is typically mounted on the door frame and contains two ferromagnetic reeds that are separated by a small gap. When the door is closed, the reeds come into contact, completing an electrical circuit and allowing the machine to operate.
