Description

This door switch is the user-actuated electrical switch that detects the dryer door position so the appliance will only run when the door is closed. Installing a new switch restores proper door-safety signaling and helps the dryer start and stop correctly. What it does:

• Detects when the door is closed and completes the start/run circuit so the dryer can operate
• Prevents the dryer from running with the door open for user safety
• Can resolve issues like a dryer that won't start, stops immediately when the door is nudged, or shows a door-related error
• Operates as the mechanical interface between the door latch and the dryer control

What's included:

• One (1) door switch assembly

Install notes:

• Disconnect power (unplug or switch off breaker) before inspecting or replacing the switch
• Access typically requires opening the dryer cabinet or front panel; instructions
• Handle connectors carefully and confirm proper wiring/connector orientation during reassembly
