Dryer Door Switch

$27.83

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.

Washer Lid Switch

Fix Number: FIX11745957
Manufacturer Part Number: WP8318084

On the lid on your washing machine there is a pin that engages with the lid switch. This works by telling the machine that the lid is closed which then allows for the washer to start. If your washer is not starting, or does not advance through the different cycles, there may be a problem with your lid switch. This part can wear out or become damaged over time and will need to be replaced so your machine can operate. Replacing this genuine OEM part is an easy job that requires the use of a Philips screwdriver along with a 5/16-inch nut driver. You will need to disconnect the power to your washer before beginning this repair and pull the machine away from the wall so you can easily access the back panel. Since the lid switch is found underneath the control panel, you will need to unscrew and lift the panel back to gain access. In order to remove the old switch, you first disconnect the wire harness, and remove the screw holding the grounding wire in place. The lid of the washer needs to be lifted, as the pin will be engaged with the switch if the lid is in the closed position. With the lid still open, the new switch can be put in place, install the screw for the grounding wire, and reattached the wire harness. The control panel can then be lowered back down, ensuring the locking tabs are engaged.
