How to Troubleshoot & Replace Frigidaire AP4316048 / 134813601 Door Switch

Suspected it was my door switch went on line to appliancepartspros.com and asked and they said it most likely was my switch. So I ordered switch and latch, very simple to replace, dryer works just fine. 

After testing various components with a multimeter - we determined that the problem was the door switch. We ordered a new one from Appliance Parts Pros, received it in 2 days, and snapped it into place! 

With parts I ordered. 

Wife said "The dryer's broken." When attempting to turn it on, just heard a motor hum sound. After trouble shooting, I discovered that the blower fan had loosened on its shaft, and jammed, causing the motor to fail. While I had the dryer totally apart, and a blower and motor ordered, I decided to order items that I consider preventative maintenance that will extend the life of the dryer, including the belt, idler pulley, rear drum bearing assembly, drum felt seals, drum glides, front air seal, and the door switch. Short of the controls, there is nothing left to replace. It takes about an hour to replace the felt seals and air seal, and they need to set for a day to let the high temp glue dry properly. I did the assembly in less than 2 hours, plugged it in, and now have a newly refurbished quiet dryer. Wife is happy...Happy Wife, Happy Life! Some would say it would have been smarter to replace this 16 year old dryer. I say, if I would have needed to hire a repair person, only the broken items would have been fixed, and it may have been smarter to replace the dryer. However, since I'm pretty handy, and the dryer is relatively simple, I decided to repair rather than replace, and also replaced items that will extend the life of the dryer. What I like about AppliancePartsPros is their great service and videos, fast shipping, and the fact that they provided all OEM (Frigidaire) parts. I will be a customer forever!

Watched a YouTube video on how to disassemble the dryer and replace the part. Most difficult part of the job was loosening screws that were super tight. WD40 did the trick! 

Replaced Door switch, limiter and Thermostat. Repairman I called couldn't fix it. Youtube was great help. 

Looking too your videos. Is very easy steps and very helpful. Thanks! 

Unplugged the old one and put in the new one. Works again. 

Our door switch malfunctioned and blew sparks all over. We changed the door switch but we now need to change the fuse limiter because it burned out as I guess from a saftey mechanism. Part is ordered and on it's way and we hope this will solve the problem. Hope this will help someone in the future. 

Bought a belt,bearing kit-easy fix that saved me hundreds/
