This dryer door switch is a simple on/off switch mechanism that prohibits the dryer from operating when the door is open, and operates the drum light. White in color and 6.5 inches long, this OEM switch is comprised of plastic and metal, and features the switch and three wires that comprise the part. Sold individually, this part attaches to the inside of the top end of the front panel. One end attaches to the wiring harness, the other goes through the panel to make contact with the door when the door is closed. Over time, this part can be subject to material fatigue or breakage due to frequent use or rough handling. If it breaks or is defective, you won't be able to start or stop your drying cycle, depending on the position your switch broke in. The easiest way to test this part for functionality is to test it by hand. Push on the black tab that sticks out of the front panel to make contact with your dryer door; if there is no resistance in the tab and it doesn't make a click sound, you may need to replace it.

Installation Instructions

John from Bethesda, MD

Dryer would stay on after opening the Door. The switch that turns off the dryer when you open the door was not broken.

You open up the lint filter access door and remove the two small screws that hold it to the top of the dryer. Once they are removed, you insert a flat blade screwdriver under front-top of the unit and the top will pop off. Exerting a little pressure towards you will help lift to top off the mounts. There are no other screws to remove.
The new switch comes attached to a clip. You just pull off the old clip and replace it with the new one and discard the old switch. Read more...

Manufacturer Part Number WPW10237959

This is a door switch that is compatible with models of dryers. The door switch in a dryer is designed to communicate with the control board when the door is open or closed. If this door switch is damaged or not working properly, it will cause your dryer to incorrectly detect whether the door is closed and will normally result in your dryer not being able to start or stopping a cycle randomly. This door switch is made entirely of plastic with the door switch tab on one end, and its wire harness on the other. Replacing this door switch is easy but does require some slight disassembly of your dryer, which you will need a screwdriver and wrench for. This door switch is an OEM part and does not come with its necessary securing screws.

This part replaces two terminal switches in a dryer and prevents the dryer from running when the door is open. This includes two connectors. If your dryer will not shut off, start, or does not tumble, replacing the door switch can solve this appliance problem. The tools needed for replacement are a screw driver and wire strippers. Make sure to attach the two wires to the right two poles of the new switch, to do this you can check the resistance of the switch. Unplug the dryer before installing this part, also refer to the diagram provided by the manufacturer.
