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.

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.

Dryer will start, run for a few second, then turn off. No error codes John M. • Waikoloa , HI • April 03, 2014
By reading the forums I first thought it may be the thermostat. I bypassed the thermostat wiring and the dryer still turned off after a few second of running. The second check was for the door switch. I couldn't find an explanation of how to bypass, so I just ordered a new one to try. It worked.

Dryer heating for only a short time then no heat at all David N. • Fairfax , CA • December 08, 2018
GE Gas Dryer Model DBVH512GF1WW began to heat for only a short amount of time so drying clothes took WAY too long. Read online that the first thing to replace are the solenoids. Bought the two solenoids from AppliancePartsPros.com for about $50 total, and it seems to have fixed the problem. Had to watch a few videos to learn to disassemble the dryer, and the job took a couple of hours, but now that I know what I'm doing it could be done in less than 30 minutes.
Also, the old solenoids tested...

1 no heat on high or low settings and sometimes on medium heat setting 2 no auto cool down Robert H. • Renton , WA • March 11, 2015
I replaced the cycle switch, fixing the lack of heat. The timer switch replacement fixed the auto cool down. I watched a cycle switch replacement on Youtube, demonstrating removal of the top console, which answered the only question I had about the repair. The timer switch was a hundred bucks. The only thing to be said about that is that it was a lot cheaper than a repairman or replacing the dryer.
