General Electric Dryer PTDN600EM2WT Doesn't shut off

The Door Switch is an OEM part for GE dryers, designed to ensure the dryer does not operate when the door is open. This safety feature is crucial for preventing accidents and ensuring the appliance operates efficiently and safely. The switch signals the dryer's control system about the status of the door—if it's open or closed—thereby allowing or preventing the start of a drying cycle. 

Causes of damage to the door switch often include mechanical wear from repeated use, accidental damage from loading or unloading, or electrical issues such as short circuits. 

Symptoms of a bad Door Switch include:

• The dryer not starting when the door is closed 
• The dryer continuing to run when the door is opened
• Unusual noises or the dryer stopping mid-cycle

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

Symptoms of a faulty dryer timer can include:

• The dryer not starting or running at all
• The dryer failing to progress through cycles or shutting off prematurely
• Cycles running for an incorrect or inconsistent amount of time
• Error codes or indicators related to the timer or control system

Causes of a bad dryer timer can range from electrical issues, such as short circuits or failed components, to mechanical wear and tear over extended use, or physical damage from impact or mishandling.
