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.
