Possible Causes

Faulty door switch contacts, Loose door switch wiring, Shorted drum light, Control board input fault

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before working near the door switch or light.

  • Check drum light behavior: Open and close the door and observe if the light turns on and off consistently. Inconsistent behavior suggests a door switch issue.
  • Access door switch: Remove the front panel or door seal clamp to reach the switch. Inspect for physical damage.
  • Test switch: Use a multimeter to check continuity when the door is closed. Replace the switch if readings are incorrect.
  • Inspect light assembly: Check the bulb or LED module and wiring for shorts or damage. Replace if faulty.
