Door Switch

The door switch is fastened to the front panel
by 2 locking tabs and is common to all dryer
functions. When the dryer door is closed, the switch
will complete the motor circuit, allowing dryer
operation. When the door is open, the switch will
open the motor circuit, interrupting dryer operation.
Opening the dryer door will also cause the door
switch to close the drum light circuit, allowing the
drum light to be energized.
Specifi c failures associated with the door switch can
initiate error codes E03 and E05. (See
.)
