Part WP3406107

Purpose

Dryer door switch assembly to detect door closure and enable operation

Details

This OEM door switch assembly ensures your dryer only starts when the door is securely closed. When the switch fails, common issues include the dryer not starting, not tumbling, or shutting off prematurely. This upgraded design replaces older two-wire switches and improves safety by precisely sensing the door state.

Safety Note

Always disconnect power before servicing. Use a stiff putty knife to safely release the switch clip when removing the old part. If the dryer still won’t start, test the switch with a multimeter for continuity.
