This broken belt switch is a dryer safety switch that senses drive belt tension and opens the motor circuit if the belt breaks or slips off. Replacing a failed switch can resolve a no-start or no-tumble condition. What it does:

• Monitors drive belt tension via the idler assembly
• Interrupts power to the motor when the belt is broken or not tensioned
• Helps prevent heating without airflow when the belt has failed
• Symptoms can include: dryer won't start, drum won't turn, or the dryer stops as soon as the Start button is released

• 1 switch

• Disconnect power; for gas models, shut off the gas supply
• Access the switch near the idler pulley by removing the lower/front panel per your model
• Transfer wires from the old switch to the new one; mount securely with the actuator aligned to the idler arm
• Run a brief test cycle

The Whirlpool Dryer Door Catch is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. It secures the dryer door closed during operation, ensuring the safety and proper functioning of the appliance. This component engages with the door latch to hold the door shut, allowing the dryer to operate without interruption.

Causes of a bad dryer door catch can include normal wear and tear from frequent use, accidental damage, or deformation of the catch or latch that prevents proper engagement. Over time, the door catch can become loose or break, necessitating replacement to maintain the dryer's performance and safety.

Symptoms of a bad dryer door catch include:

• The dryer door not staying closed during cycles
• Difficulty closing the door securely
• The dryer stopping mid-cycle due to the door opening

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