Safety first: Unplug the dryer before working near the door switch.
Steps:
- 1. Locate door switch: Usually mounted near the door opening behind the front panel.
- 2. Test operation: Press the switch plunger by hand and listen for a click. If no click or if the light does not respond, test continuity with a multimeter.
