The dryer would not start.
The entire dryer had to be taken apart to get to the door switch. I determined the door switch was faulty by measuring conductivity. I purchased the new switch which cost about $9. The shipping cost was $9. After all that, the dryer still won't start. I gave up and bought a new dryer.

WOULD NOT START/ stopped in the middle of cycle
Ordered parts and installed with YOUTUBE video.
Model A little different than showed online, There was a Metal protector over the Door switch that need to be taken off before switch could be located.
After detachment of dryer door, easily pushed the seal to one side to dislocate the metal protector.
Would of took 30 minutes to complete if had not been for the Metal protector they added to cover the switch.

Dryer started out continuing to tumble after door was opened. Now, we have to put pressure on the door at the bottom left of the door before we can start drying by pressing the start button. Does this sound like the door switch?
For model number GTD33EASK0WW
PartSelect logo
Hi Gina, Thank you for your question. If you have to put pressure on the door at the bottom for the dryer to work, check and see if the door is aligned correctly. If it is not, then you may need to check the door strike and latch and you should check the hinge as well. If these parts check out fine, then the issue may be the door switch. You should also check the timer and the cycling thermostat as well. You will need to test the electronic parts with a multi-meter. Here is a link to one of our videos on YouTube that you may use as a general reference on how to use one, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWC44fHn0As. For more information on how to test these parts, click on the Appliance Repair link on our website and on the next page that comes up click on the dryer icon. When the next page comes up, you will be provided with a symptoms list. Choose the "Will not shut off" symptom and the information will come up for you. We hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day.

If the light goes out when the door is closed does that mean the door switch is working correctly?
For model number GTD42GASJ2WW
PartSelect logo
Hello Stuart, thank you for reaching out. According to our research, if the light is on when the door is open and it shuts off when the door is closed, then it means that the door switch is working properly. We hope this information helps!
