Hopefully the socking great cost of the recall will focus Whirlpool's

I doubt it. All electrical equipment comes with fire risks obviously, and the standards were quite good, just not quite good enough. I doubt they knew anything was amiss. Whirlpoo does not have a rep for top quality, safety etc, and there is far worse in the marketplace.


Sounds like a relay is needed. (or electronic equivilant)

That costs. A marginally better switch is cheaper.
