Whirlpool WPW10350906 Dryer Door Switch

The Whirlpool WPW10350906 Dryer Door Switch is an important safety feature on your Whirlpool clothes dryer. This little switch is critical to the safe and effective operation of your dryer. The switch, located near the dryer door frame, works as a gatekeeper. When the dryer door is safely closed, the switch completes an electrical circuit, indicating to the dryer that it is safe to start the tumbling cycle. With the door open, however, the switch keeps the circuit incomplete, preventing the dryer from starting and perhaps inflicting injury. This safety mechanism prevents hot air from escaping, protecting people from burns. Replacing a malfunctioning door switch is a straightforward process that will restore your dryer to proper operating order.
