Do-It-Yourself Stories from Customers like You Ignitor coil was not turning on   Harrison N. • El Cajon , CA • March 14, 2021

I realized my load of laundry was still wet after a normal drying cycle. My first action was to turn the dryer on (2010 gas Maytag centennial) and open the front port to look at the ignitor coil. It never turned orange so I knew there must be a problem with the primary circuit. I shut off the dryer, disconnected the power, pulled it away from the wall, shutoff the gas, and removed the back panel. I then disconnected the wires for the thermal fuse and checked its resistance with a multimeter.... Read more

Kenmore Door Switch
Genuine Whirlpool part
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: W10820036

The Washer Door Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This component is crucial for ensuring the washer operates safely by detecting whether the door is open or closed. The door switch prevents the washer from starting or continuing its cycle when the door is open, and it allows the machine to function only when the door is securely closed.

Symptoms of a failing Washer Door Switch include:

  • The washer not starting or stopping unexpectedly during a cycle
  • Error codes related to door closure issues displayed on the washer's control panel
  • The washer door not locking properly or the lock mechanism not engaging
  • The washer continuing to operate with the door open

Causes of a bad door switch can include wear and tear from frequent use, damage from repeated opening and closing of the door, electrical faults such as short circuits, or physical damage from mishandling or impact.

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

This part fixes the following symptoms
  • Will not drain
  • Pumps but will not spin
  • Timer will not advance
  • Doesn't shut off

Kenmore Door Switch
Genuine Whirlpool part
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: WP3406108

The Door Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. It is responsible for detecting whether the dryer door is open or closed. When the door is closed, the switch allows the dryer to operate. Conversely, if the door is open, the switch interrupts the electrical circuit to prevent the dryer from running, ensuring safety during use.

You should replace the door switch if it becomes faulty. Causes of a bad door switch can include wear and tear from regular use, electrical failures, or physical damage from repeated opening and closing of the dryer door. A malfunctioning door switch can prevent the dryer from starting or cause it to stop mid-cycle.

Symptoms of a bad door switch include:

  • The dryer not starting or responding when the door is closed
  • The dryer stopping mid-cycle without reopening the door
  • The dryer continuing to run when the door is opened
  • Error codes related to the door switch or door lock mechanism

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

Kenmore Door Switch
Genuine Frigidaire part
By: Frigidaire
Part Number: 134813601

The Door Switch is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. This part ensures that the dryer operates safely by only allowing the machine to run when the door is completely closed. Positioned typically at the door frame, the switch activates when the door is shut, signaling the control system that it's safe to begin the cycle.

Over time, door switches can wear out or become damaged, which can interfere with the normal operation of the dryer. 

Symptoms of a faulty Door Switch include:

  • The dryer not starting when the door is closed.
  • The dryer stopping unexpectedly, which might be due to a loose or faulty switch.
  • A lack of the usual "click" sound that indicates the door has latched properly, suggesting the switch isn’t engaging.
  • The dryer continuing to run when the door is opened, which poses a significant safety risk.

This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.
