Whirlpool WP8283288 Dryer Door Switch
Product Description
The Whirlpool WP8283288 dryer is an essential safety feature for your Whirlpool dryer. This switch is for the dryer door; it's a little but powerful device that helps keep things from overheating and catching fire. This switch, which is close to the dryer door frame, acts as a vigilant watchdog. The switch completes an electrical circuit when the dryer door is correctly closed and latching, enabling the dryer to function as intended. But as soon as the door is opened, even a little bit, the switch activates, breaking the circuit. In the unlikely event that clothing is inadvertently left in the dryer with the door open during a cycle, this safety function is crucial in preventing burning or scorching.
