Dryer Door Switch

$34.66

Fix Number: FIX11741701
Manufacturer Part Number: WP3406107

This OEM dryer door switch is an on/off mechanism that detects when the door is open to prevent the dryer from operating. If your dryer will turn on but will not start or continues working while the door is open, you may have a faulty door switch. This part features the switch and three wires, is white in color, and measures 6.5 inches long. This switch replaces the two-wire switch that is on many models. You will find this part attached to the inside of the top end of the front panel. One end attaches to the wiring harness and the other goes through the panel to make contact with the door when the door is closed. This is a regular wear part due to such frequent use or continuous harsh handling. Depending on how the switch broke, it might make it impossible to start or stop your drying cycle. You can test the function of this part by pushing on the black tab that sticks out of the front panel to make contact with the dryer door. If there is no resistance in the tab and it does not make a clicking sound, it likely needs to be replaced.

The push-to-start switch is a genuine OEM part for your dryer. When the button is pressed and released, it activates the dry cycle for your laundry. If your dryer will not start or it shuts off too soon, there may be an issue with the start switch and it should be replaced. Please be sure to disconnect the power supply to your dryer before beginning this repair, as you will be working with electrical components.
