How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Unplug the dryer before working on the door or switch.

  • Check door closure:
    • Ensure the door closes fully and latches securely.
    • Inspect the door strike for bending or damage; adjust or replace if misaligned.
  • Test door switch:
    • Locate the door switch behind the front panel near the door opening.
    • With the dryer unplugged, remove the switch and test for continuity with a multimeter.
    • The switch should show continuity when the button is pressed (door closed) and open when released.
  • Inspect wiring:
    • Check the harness from the door switch to the main control board for breaks or loose connectors.
  • Replace faulty parts:
    • Install a new door switch or latch assembly if defective.
