Function and Importance 

The dryer door switch is a safety mechanism that prevents the dryer from operating when the door is open. It signals the control board that the door is closed and the appliance is safe to begin or continue the drying cycle. A faulty door switch can cause your dryer to stop mid-cycle, not start at all, or run even when the door is open—creating both an inconvenience and a safety hazard.

Common Symptoms of a Faulty Door Switch

• Dryer won’t start or stops unexpectedly
