Possible Causes
Stuck or misaligned door switch, Shorted door switch wiring, Faulty control PCB light driver
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer before working on the door switch or wiring.
- Check door switch actuator: Locate the door switch in the door frame. Ensure the door presses it fully when closed.
- Test switch: Remove the switch and test for correct open/closed operation with a multimeter. Replace if stuck or faulty.
- Inspect wiring: Check for shorted or pinched wires around the door area. Repair any damage.
- PCB check: If the switch and wiring are good, the control PCB may be keeping the light on and may require replacement.
