Whirlpool Dryer Door Switch, Snap-in W11551763, Replaces W11307535

Genuine Whirlpool snap-in door switch assembly. For supported dryer models, it prevents operation when the door is open. Established retailer evidence also lists this same OEM part for select microwave models.

Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Dryer does not start even though the door appears fully closed.
• Dryer stops unexpectedly when door movement interrupts the switch circuit.
• Intermittent starting when the door is closed, potentially associated with switch actuation, wiring, or door alignment.

Check Before Replacing

• Confirm the door closes fully and engages the door strike without unusual looseness or obstruction.
• With power disconnected, visually inspect the switch, connector, and nearby wiring for damage, looseness, lint, or displaced components.
• Check that the switch actuator moves freely when operated by the closed door; do not bypass the safety switch.
• If the model's technical documentation specifies a door-switch diagnostic or continuity test, follow that model-specific procedure with power disconnected unless the documentation directs otherwise.
