The dryer just stopped working. Couldn’t get it to start.
Watched a you tube video that told me exactly how to do it. Saved us from going out and buying a new one. My husband and I were very proud of ourselves because just to get someone to look at it would have cost us $85. The part was only around $25.

Dryer kept running
Well turned off power by unplugging it. Took a Phillips screwdriver and took the 2 screws out from vent and then took a flat head and left up each side to access the inside of dryer. Then used screwdriver to take out screws to switch and then disconnect the power cord to that. Reverse the procedure and it was so simple. Ty. Awesome company.

The friggin thing wouldn't shut off when you opened the door. The switch dealie was just hangin there like a loose tooth.
The videos showed the tech taking the front off the unit but my unit didn't play that game. Instead all I had to do was take the top loose, (don't forget to take the dryer vent screws out first, that was the first beer) then access to the switch was easypeezy. That coupling for the switch assembly was 2 beers long. Anyways, got it all back together and it works like it's suppose to.

The dryer quit running
Those 2 little parts I ordered
Door Switch Assembly
And

I thought the Thermal Fuse was the main thing that caused the dryer to quit working, I was pissed lol, so I went ahead and installed the Door Switch Assembly, which hadn't work for quite awhile, and bingo it worked, oh my god I was so happy, and it was so easy to do!!!!

First of all my dryer would run with the door open. Then my dryer quit working completely. I noticed that the door switch was broken.
I remove the lint trap and the two screws that held the top down. Next to unscrew the two screws that holds the door switch. I prized the top up with a screwdriver . I unplugged the door switch and plugged in the new one. I inserted the switch into the door and replace the screws. I snapped the top back into place and replace the screws in the lint trap. I close the door and turn the dryer on and it worked. I followed the directions you provided on line. They were very easy to follow.

delivery of part over 10 days, fedex rescheduled delivery 3 days in a row.
I closed breaker to dryer. I removed the two screws attaching the lent catcher to the top. I used the putty knife to release the latch on the top of dryer while moving the top forward I was able to lift the top. Now I am waiting on the new door switch before proceeding with replacement. The completion should take another ten minutes.

My door switch has stopped working. I have looked up a new one using the model #. I was directed to a replacement part but it is showing three wires coming from the switch. My old switch only has two wires. I watched and your repair man did not explain this difference. I was looking very hard to see if he installed a 3 wire switch and i think he did. You or he could have explained this better.I am going to order my part now and if it's not i will return it but the uncertainty will remain until i install and test!
For model number NED5100TQ1
PartSelect logo
Hello Peter, Thank you for the question. The manufacture has discontinued the old 2 wire switch and replaced it with this 3 wire switch. This switch is used on models that have a tub light and will require the third wire for the light. This switch is interchangeable with your switch and will still work. You just need to plug it in as you normally would have. Thank you for your inquiry, good luck with this repair!

I just ordered the door assembly switch. I looked at the video,everything went well but i can't detach the assembly from the other part. It's hard to come loose. Can i spray anything on it?
For model number 3406104
PartSelect logo
Hi Alyce, Thank you for your question. The new switch comes attached to a clip. You just pull off the old clip and replace it with the new one and discard the old switch. If you have tried this you may have to consult your owner's manual for more information. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Your video to change door switch shows the controls to the dryer on the top/back of dryer with lint screen on the top panel. My model has the controls on the front of dryer, with lint screen (egg shape) inside the dryer. Can you send me the correct process to replace the door switch for this model please? My dryer does not stop when i open the door (keeps tumbling) so i believe i have correctly diagnosed this from various sites that it is the door switch.
For model number 110.88182891

Hi Gail, Thank you for your question. Here is some information that a customer has left regarding how she installed the switch, "Hi, I am a working mom, and my dryer quit just after it had been behaving strangely. At first, it kept spinning after the door was opened. It eventually stopped working, and I assumed that the door switch must be the culprit. I purchased the part from the catalogue, and watched the installation video. Repair: After unplugging the dryer and removing the lint screen, I used a philips head screwdriver to loosen and remove the two screws located at the lint trap. I then inserted a flat screwdriver into the area between the top of the dryer casing and the face. Per the video, at approx. 2 inches in from the left and right side. I did this while gently applying pressure from the back of the dryer top to the front. This loosens the clips allowing the top to be lifted back and out of the way. I then opened the dryer door and commenced loosening and removing the two screws that hold the dryer switch in place. I used my screwdriver to gently separate the wiring harness connection, as it also has a clip to keep the connection tight. With these items free, I simply popped the little black thingy back through the hole (The black thingy just keeps the slack in the wiring from sagging, I think). With the old part removed, I then installed the new part accordingly. I reversed my way back out of the process respectively. I plugged her back in, and turned her on. Back in business." I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

My dryer has the lint filter inside the dryer - how do i change it?
For model number 110.847224
PartSelect logo
Hello Debbie, thank you for your question. You would reach inside the unit and take the cover off the filter, then pull the filter out of the dryer. This should be done every load you do so as to prevent a fire, or cause drying time issues. I hope this helps!
