Roper Dryer REX3614PW2 Doesn't shut off

The Dryer Door Switch Assembly is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This component is responsible for detecting when the dryer door is open to prevent the dryer from operating during this state. It ensures safety and energy efficiency by halting the drying cycle if the door is accidentally opened, preventing heat loss and potential hazards.

Causes for a malfunctioning dryer door switch assembly include physical damage from slamming the dryer door, wear and tear from regular use, or electrical issues that impair its function.  

Symptoms of a bad Dryer Door Switch Assembly include:

• Dryer not starting when the door is closed
• Dryer continuing to operate when the door is opened
• The dryer starting intermittently or requiring the door to be slammed to start

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

The Hi-Limit Thermostat is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. It functions as a critical safety device that monitors and controls the temperature within the dryer, preventing it from overheating. When the dryer reaches a temperature that is too high, this thermostat will cut off the power to the heating element to mitigate the risk of fire.

Symptoms of a bad Hi-Limit Thermostat include:

• Dryer not heating adequately or at all
• Clothes taking longer than usual to dry
• The dryer repeatedly shutting off during a cycle
• Excessive heat emitted from the dryer even on lower settings

Causes of a bad Hi-Limit Thermostat can include a malfunction due to electrical issues, lint buildup causing restricted airflow and increased temperature, or failure of other components like the cycling thermostat that can cause the dryer to overheat.

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