W10169313 Whirlpool 3 Wire Door Switch Kit
The Dryer Door Switch Assembly senses if the door of your dryer is properly closed. If the door handle is broken or your dryer does not start as expected, then the door switch could be damaged or defective. Note that this part also replaces older 2-terminal switches. Two connectors are also included. Replacing this part will require basic hand tools, minor disassembly of the dryer and novice repair experience. You must unplug the dryer or shut off the house circuit breaker for the appliance before installing this part. Helpful Tip: Take a digital photo of the current switch wiring configuration to aid when attaching the new part. A multimeter can be used to test the door switch for continuity before you begin this repair.
