The Door Switch Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This kit includes a door switch that plays a crucial safety and operational role in the dryer's function.

The causes of door switch failure often include physical damage from slamming the dryer door, wear and tear over time, or electrical issues such as short circuits. 

Symptoms of a faulty Dryer Door Switch include:

• The dryer not starting when the door is closed 
• The dryer continuing to run when the door is opened, which poses a significant safety hazard.
• Unusual noises from the switch area 

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.
