Common Symptoms
- Dryer will not start when the door is closed
- Dryer continues running when the door is opened
- Door-switch operation is intermittent
- Dryer may stop unexpectedly if the switch or its wiring loses contact
Check Before Replacing
- Unplug the dryer or disconnect power before inspecting the switch or wiring.
- With power disconnected, visually check the switch actuator, terminals, connectors, and nearby wiring for damage, looseness, or burn marks.
- Confirm that the door physically presses the switch actuator when closed and releases it when opened.
- If qualified to use a multimeter, test switch continuity with the dryer unplugged and compare the readings with the appliance’s wiring diagram or service documentation.
- After any inspection, verify that connectors are fully seated and that the switch is mechanically engaged by the door.
Pro Tip
Photograph the original wire positions before disconnecting the old switch; this kit uses three terminals and replaces older two-terminal switches, so the correct terminals must be identified rather than matched by position alone.
