Frigidaire / Electrolux Dryer door switch, 3 wire 134813601, Replaces 131843101

Genuine OEM three-wire dryer door switch for dryers with a drum light. The switch prevents the dryer from operating when the door is open.

Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Dryer will not start with the door closed.
• Dryer stops intermittently when the door or switch is disturbed.
• Interior drum light behavior does not change correctly with door position.
• Dryer may start only when the door is pressed firmly shut.

Check Before Replacing

• Disconnect electrical power before inspecting or testing the switch.
• Confirm that the door closes fully and mechanically depresses the switch actuator.
• Inspect the switch housing, actuator, connector, and wiring for visible damage or loose connections.
• With power disconnected and the switch isolated as appropriate for the model, check continuity across the relevant terminals while moving the actuator; the readings should change consistently between actuator positions.
• Use the dryer’s model-specific wiring diagram to identify the correct terminal functions before interpreting continuity results.

Installation Notes

• Disconnect electrical power before beginning installation.
