Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

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.
• Record the original wire and terminal positions before disconnecting the switch.
• Install the replacement in the same orientation and ensure its actuator is fully engaged by the closed door.
• Reconnect the wires to the corresponding terminals; do not rely on terminal position from a similar-looking switch.
• After reassembly, verify that the dryer recognizes the door as closed and that normal operation and door-light behavior are restored.
