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.

John, The monitor switch would be the one that would be closed and is the center switch. The door switch which is upper would only be closed when the door is closed and the primary switch which is bottom would be closed when the door is closed.

Danny, Are you sure you reset and locked both breaker properly at the breaker box ? at the door switch, the blue wire should attach to the "C" terminal of the switch, and go to the terminal block. The brown wire should attach to the "NC" terminal of the switch and go the the drum light. The gray wire should attach to the "NO" terminal of the switch and go to the start switch and timer. Of course you also want to check and make sure none of the wires got broken or damaged during the repair. If you have a multimeter, you could check the start switch for a "closed" circuit when you press the button, with the wires disconnected, to varify the start switch has not failed. Thanks and Good Luck

Hello Randy. No, E-68 is a stuck button. Check and see if any of the buttons on the control panel are stuck. If not, replace the control board 134557201NH. Hope this helps.
