Bob for Model Number 86980100 This switch # AP2997390 is pricey, how can I tell if its bad? My dryer won't run but the door switch seems OK
Answer Hello Bob, you will need a multi meter MA-DM1. You can test any of the contacts on the switch, when you are pressing in on the switch you will get a closed reading showing you are getting continuity. Once you release it you should not get a reading, meaning the switch is doing exactly what it should. Here is a link you can refer to for help with using a multi meter: http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html . Hope this helps!
