134813663 Frigidaire Dryer Washer Door Switch

Dryer, Washer Door Switch.

The Door Switch, an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component, is designed for use in Frigidaire clothes dryers. This electronic part is situated on the door frame and plays a crucial role in detecting whether the dryer door is securely closed. It sends this status to the dryer's control board, which is necessary for the machine to start and to prevent it from operating with an open door.

Brands under the Frigidaire umbrella include Electrolux, Gibson, Tappan, and Sears-Kenmore. This specific part is also compatible with appliances from Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and certain Kenmore models.

The door switch may fail due to regular use, which involves frequent opening and closing of the dryer door. Additionally, physical damage resulting from accidental impacts or excessive tightening of the door's mounting hardware can impair the switch's functionality.

Indications of a malfunctioning dryer door switch are varied. They may include the dryer initiating a cycle despite the door being open, displaying error codes, or failing to start or run due to the switch not recognizing the door as properly closed. Issues with control settings that inaccurately read the door's position may also occur.
