Common Symptoms
- Dryer does not start when the door is closed
- Dryer stops unexpectedly when the door-switch circuit is not detecting a closed door
Check Before Replacing
- With power disconnected, inspect the door-switch actuator and wiring/harness for visible damage or loose connections.
- Observe whether the dryer responds correctly when the door is opened and closed; an incorrect response can indicate a door-switch circuit problem, but does not by itself confirm this part is defective.
Pro Tip
This part includes the jumper wire/harness; compare the existing connector and wire arrangement before installation.
