WPW10237959 Dryer Door Switch
The WPW10237959 is a genuine OEM dryer door switch for Whirlpool and affiliated brand dryers. This door switch is a critical safety component that detects whether the dryer door is closed and sends an electrical signal to the dryer control board, allowing the dryer to start and operate only when the door is securely closed. The door switch is constructed from durable plastic housing, a spring-loaded mechanical switch mechanism, electrical contacts, wire leads (typically 2 wires), a plastic actuator button or plunger, and mounting hardware. The assembly measures approximately 2-3 inches in length, 1-2 inches in width, and 1 inch in depth, weighing approximately 0.1-0.2 pounds. The door switch has two wire leads with a two-prong plug connector for connecting to the dryer's electrical system. The WPW10237959 replaces older part numbers including W10237959, 3406109, 3406107, 3406100, and others with improved reliability and durability. The door switch operates on 120 volts AC, 60 Hz and typically handles 1-5 amperes of current. The door switch operates through a simple mechanical and electrical system: when the dryer door is closed, the door latch or striker plate presses against the door switch actuator button, closing the electrical contacts inside the switch and completing the electrical circuit to the dryer control board, signaling that the door is closed and allowing the dryer to start and operate. When the dryer door is opened, the actuator button releases, the electrical contacts inside the switch open, breaking the electrical circuit and immediately stopping the dryer drum rotation and heating element for safety. Over time, dryer door switches can fail due to worn or broken electrical contacts (preventing proper circuit completion), broken or cracked plastic housing (from impact or age), broken actuator button or plunger (preventing proper switch activation), corroded wire terminals or connections, spring failure (preventing proper contact engagement), switch mechanism wear (from repeated use over thousands of cycles), or manufacturing defects. When the door switch fails, symptoms include the dryer not starting at all even with the door closed (no drum rotation, no heat), the dryer stopping immediately when the start button is released, the dryer running with the door open (safety hazard), the dryer starting but stopping after a few seconds, the dryer control panel not responding when the door is closed, unusual clicking sounds from the door switch area when opening or closing the door, or the door switch actuator button breaking off or not engaging properly. The WPW10237959 is a complete replacement door switch that restores full dryer operation and safety functionality. Replacing a faulty door switch eliminates all door switch-related problems and restores reliable, safe dryer operation. Important: Always unplug the dryer before working on it to prevent electrical shock. This is a simple repair requiring minimal tools and basic mechanical skills. Verify your dryer model number before ordering. Test the door switch with a multimeter before replacement to confirm door switch failure. This repair can be easily completed by most homeowners with basic tools and careful attention to detail.
Performance & Benefits: By automatically shutting off the dryer when the door is opened, this switch enhances safety and prevents energy waste, solving common issues like unexpected operation. From XPart Supply Ltd., it provides peace of mind and extends the life of your appliance, making maintenance straightforward and cost-effective for everyday use.
This genuine WPW10237959 dryer door switch is a crucial component for ensuring that your dryer operates safely and efficiently. Its durable construction and reliability provide peace of mind, confirming that your dryer will turn off when the door is opened.
