Possible Causes

Loose door switch, Worn door latch, Intermittent door switch contacts, Loose wiring at door switch connector

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the dryer before inspection.

  • Check for play in the door: Wiggle the door while closed. Excessive movement can cause intermittent contact. Tighten hinges and replace worn latch/strike.
  • Inspect switch mounting: Access the door switch and verify it is firmly mounted. Tighten screws if loose.
  • Clean contacts: Disconnect the switch connector and inspect for oxidation. Clean with electrical contact cleaner and reconnect firmly.
  • Test switch: Use a multimeter to check for stable continuity when the door is closed. If readings are unstable, replace the door switch assembly.
