When replacing parts in your Kenmore dryer, understanding the role of each component is essential. Here we answer common questions about the safety switch replacement.
The safety switch ensures the dryer operates only when the door is securely closed. If the switch is faulty, the dryer won't start or may stop mid-cycle.
Signs that the safety switch may need replacement include the dryer not starting or stopping unexpectedly. Testing the switch with a multimeter can confirm if it's defective.
First, unplug the dryer. Remove the top panel to access the switch. Disconnect the wires and unscrew the switch from the door frame. Install the new switch by reversing these steps.
The cost varies, but typically the switch itself costs between $15 to $30. Professional installation may add to the cost.
