Door Switch - KitchenAid Ensemble KGHS01PMT/WH Technical Education

Disconnect power before servicing.
Replace all parts and panels before operating.
Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.

DOOR SWITCH

Refer to page 4-6 for the procedure for servic-
ing the door switch.
1. Set the dryer to the "Diagnostic Test Mode"
(refer to the procedure on page 6-2).
2. Open and close the dryer door. You should
hear a "beep" each time the door is closed
and opened, and "OE" should be displayed
in the console window whenever the door
is opened.
If a beep does not sound, or if "OE" is dis-
played with the door closed, check the wir-
ing between the door switch and the elec-
tronic control board for positive connec-
tions or short circuits.
If the wiring is okay, perform the resistance
tests.
