Identify this part!

What exactly does this do? Came out of a Miele dishwasher Im attempting to
repair. Would this part be easy to replace, and where could I get it?

Also, Im trying to remove the propellor from the pump.

Should it just pull off, or might it require a special tool?

Cheers.

 

Looks like a switch with a melted connector to me

 

It is a micro switch with connetor harness using three wires;common,normally
open and normally closed.
It proves that door is closed or some other item engaged etc; depends where
you pulled it out from.
Try PrincessAuto or other store; the rating is within common range.If you
cant find it send message will get you one. MS

 

Standard microswitch. Replace the connector as well or you will be pulling
it all apart again.

Impellor probably unscrews but it might have a left handed thread.
