The Dryer Door Switch is an OEM replacement part for GE dryers. The door switch is a key safety mechanism that monitors whether the door is closed during operation. The switch automatically stops the dryer cycle if the door is opened, preventing heat from escaping and potential safety hazards.
Causes of a bad door switch can be related to wear and tear over time, damage from excessive bending of the wires, or moisture infiltration that causes corrosion of internal components.
Symptoms of a bad door switch include:
- The dryer fails to stop or start when the door is opened or closed
- Error codes or failure indications related to the door switch
This GE OEM replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
