Possible Causes
Faulty door switch contacts, Misaligned door not fully depressing switch, Shorted door switch wiring
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer before testing the door switch.
- Check door closure: Ensure the door closes fully and presses the switch actuator. Adjust hinges or strike if needed.
- Test switch: Access the door switch and test continuity. The switch should open when the door is closed (for the light circuit). Replace if it remains closed.
- Inspect wiring: Check for shorted wires that could be bypassing the switch.
