אַפּערייטינג פּרינסאַפּאַלז

The dryer door switch functions as a critical safety interlock. When the dryer door is closed, the switch is activated, completing an electrical circuit that allows the dryer to start and operate. If the door is open, the switch circuit is interrupted, preventing the dryer from starting or immediately stopping it if it is already running. This mechanism is designed to prevent accidents and ensure user safety during dryer operation.

וישאַלט

The dryer door switch is a sealed component and does not require routine maintenance. However, it is advisable to:

• Periodically inspect the dryer door and its latch mechanism to ensure proper alignment and closure.
• Keep the area around the dryer door clean and free of lint buildup, which could potentially interfere with the switch's operation.
• If the switch appears physically damaged or worn, consider replacement to maintain safety and functionality.

טראָובלעשאָאָטינג

If your dryer is experiencing issues related to the door switch, consider the following:

• Dryer Not Starting: Ensure the dryer door is fully closed and latched. A faulty door switch is a common reason for a dryer not starting even when the door appears closed.
• Dryer Stops Mid-Cycle: If the dryer stops unexpectedly, check if the door has accidentally opened or if the door switch is intermittently failing.
• No Tumbling Action: The door switch must be engaged for the motor to operate. If the motor hums but the drum doesn't tumble, and the door is closed, the switch might be defective.
• וויסואַל דורכקוק: With the power disconnected, visually inspect the switch for any signs of damage, such as a broken lever or loose wiring.
• Continuity Test (Advanced): A multimeter can be used to test the continuity of the switch. With the door open, there should be no continuity. With the door closed (or switch depressed), there should be continuity. If the switch fails this test, it needs replacement.
